The objective of a planning committee should be to create a cohesive and healthy environment whereby domestic housing and Industry remain separate. We strongly object to the proposed siting of the household recycling centre on the basis that this predominantly housing area has been massively overdeveloped over the last ten years by industrial projects.

We moved into Luddington Road twenty five years ago when it was a pleasant and well ordered suburb. We have since witnessed the planners rubber stamp massive expansion for JLR for both the enormous logistics centre and also the vehicle dispatch area, including the unsightly industrial looking road bridge that spans Damson Lane.

We also suffer the environmental fallout from the year on year expansion of Birmingham Airport with its ever increasing passenger numbers.

The necessity for airport expansion with the benefits it brings to Birmingham and Solihull was fair and reasonable. However, It's as clear as day that JLR should have relocated years ago given that they are surrounded on all sides by domestic housing. A clear example of massive planning errors and lack of foresight!! This area cannot sustain any further industrial development without suffering catastrophic urban decay.

If the proposed site is to be developed it should be for much needed additional housing to compliment what already exists in this area. There has to be a more appropriate brown field site for what will always be a very unsightly and unhealthy facility for those living in close proximity.

Please don't blight the lives of many thousands of long standing,law abiding and respectful residents that have strived for most of their lives to maintain this area as a pleasant,clean and peaceful place in which to live and raise their families.

To avoid turning this well established area of mature domestic housing into a decaying industrial wasteland, an alternative site must be found to house the household recycling centre.
THE PLANNERS MUST REJECT THIS PROPOSAL
