Representation Summary:

Re. Jaguar Land Rover (JLR) - 106: 'The exceptional circumstances to justify this approach are as follows'...

Relocation of (a) the Household Waste and Recycling Centre (HWRC) and (b) Depot to this (JLR) area was not included in previous iterations of this Local Plan, nor have local residents had the opportunity to object or comment on its last-minute inclusion in the final version of the Plan.
Furthermore, SMBC has not included other potential sites on their shortlist for a new combined HWRC & Depot in this Draft Local Plan, thereby giving the impression that this is the only agreed site.

Change suggested by respondent:

Removal of specific reference to the combined and expanded HWRC and Depot being located in the Jaguar Land Rover (JLR) Area.
This area is designated for Jaguar Land Rover (automotive) and related developments. A combined Waste Recycling Centre and Council Depot cannot be said to fall into this category.

Failing this, SMBC should indicate within the Local Plan, all of the other locations on their shortlist that are being considered for an Expanded HWRC and Depot.
Otherwise, this would be demonstrably unfair to local residents in the Damson Parkway area who have not been consulted on this late inclusion.
