There seems to be very little transparency here on why Site UK2 Land at Damson Parkway is considered a suitable location for a relocated Household and Waste Facility. This combined with a complete lack of publicly available documents noting the details of its specific location within the overall UK2 site, means that residents are unable to effectively scrutinise the proposals for the relocation.

I object to the plan as the Cushman and Wakefield report, the supporting document, says that this land shouldn’t be declassified as green belt as it would not meet the criteria for re-zoning. Also, the potential relocation of a Household Waste and Recycling Facility to site UK2 will only further increase pollution in an area that already has unacceptably high pollution levels. I disagree with the refusal to extend the consultation period on the Local Plan as a whole, as well as, the lack of consultation with Elmdon residents and councillors, who will be most affected by the potential relocation.
