REPLACEMENT TEXT (JUSTIFICATION)

Delete 2nd clause of 3rd sentence of paragraph 350 and replace with 'treating it locally wherever practical'.

Delete paragraphs 351-352 and replace with:
'The circumstance with regard to capacity needs within the Borough are detailed in the Council’s Waste Needs Assessment for Solihull, November 2018. In particular, future requirements are set out in Tables 49 to 51 of the Assessment. These relate to local authority collected waste; commercial and industrial waste; and construction, demolition and excavation waste. The Council will support the sustainable provision of waste management facilities to meet these forecasts at the dates and intervals set out in the tables (2020, 2025, 2030 and 2035).

Much of the required capacity is already in place. Appropriate additional provision will be made in accordance with Policy P12. In this regard, there are a couple of specific additional needs. These are considered below.'

Delete the 2nd clause of the 4th sentence and the 5th and 6th sentences of paragraph 353 and replace with:
', and further consideration of the recommendations has concluded that a site within the proposed employment land allocation at Site 20 Land at Damson Parkway offers the most suitable option.'

Add new paragraphs after paragraph 355:
'In addition to the above, the policy is supportive of the provision facilities for the management of secondary and recycled materials and minerals waste. This is in recognition of the emphasis given, in national policy, to the contribution that can be made from the sources in the supply of minerals.

Policy P12 also offers support, in principal, to the provision of facilities for the management of hazardous waste. This is because of a general lack of such capacity within the Borough.

Sustainable provision will thus be made in a variety of ways. The provision identified above will address shortfalls in capacity within the Borough in a move to help satisfy local needs. Developments will complement on-going provision at the Coventry EfW facility, the Birmingham MRF and the Packington composting facility and such additional sustainable capacity as may be commissioned through the Borough’s Municipal Waste Management Strategy.'

Delete 1st sentence and 1st clause of 2nd sentence of paragraph 356.

Delete 1st and 2nd sentences of paragraph 357.

Split paragraph 358 into 2 after 2nd sentence.

Add new paragraph after paragraph 358:
'On-site management shall be preferred unless the activities would result in unacceptable harm through impacts on the environment, on transport or on neighbouring uses or it is demonstrated that management elsewhere would have wider sustainability benefits. Particular opportunities include the on-site recovery of construction and demolition waste as well as provision of recycling infrastructure in housing, retail and employment developments.'
