The plan to locate the waste facility at this location should be abandoned and an alternative location chosen. The chosen location should be in an existing industrial setting and not one that is near to a residential area.

The construction and operation of a waste disposal and recycling facility in the proposed location of Damson Parkway would bring severe levels of noise, pollution and disruption to the residents of the Damson Parkway estate. The siting of such a facility so close to a residential area will have a great impact on the levels of harmful emissions, both from the plant itself and the vehicles accessing it. This facility will have a detrimental impact on the quality of life and on the mental health of those living nearby and bring dangerous levels of vehicle traffic.
