Sound? No

Duty to co-operate? No

Representation Summary:

In para 105, there is reference to land on the south eastern side of Damson Parkway/Old Damson Lane having been identified as an option for a relocation of HWRC. Policy is that this land should only be removed from Green Belt for very special circumstances (I.e. support growth of JLR). Relocation of HWRC is not special circumstances- the SMBC commissioned report identified 3 more suitable sites and recommended this site be discounted. Furthermore there has not been the required consultation to allow the specific reference to this site for relocation of the HWRC. A petition has strong strong objections.

Change suggested by respondent:

The 2nd sentence in para 105 must be removed (I.e “Part of this land has also been identified as an option for a relocated Household Waste and Recycling Centre and Council Depot. Further justification for this proposal is included in Policy P12.” be deleted).
