Waste Plan Stage 2a: Additional Sites
Waste Plan Stage 2a: Additional Sites
Stage 2a 'Additional Sites' Consultation- 8 February to 22 March 2010
This stage of consultation is now closed.
The boroughs of Croydon, Kingston, Merton and Sutton held a six-week consultation period giving residents an opportunity to comment on the suitability of eight sites for waste management purposes. These eight sites were ‘additional sites’ that were put forward by residents, land owners and waste operators during a previous stage of consultation which took place between July and October 2009 (Waste Plan Stage 2).
The suitability of these eight additional sites was been assessed using a set of robust criteria that takes into consideration issues such as flood risk, traffic impacts and visual intrusion and gives a score to each site. All eight sites scored relatively poorly, when compared with the 28 sites that were shortlisted in the previous stage of the consultation in 2009. This indicates that, from a planning perspective, there would be obstacles to them being used for waste management purposes.
Residents and other interested parties were asked for their views on the assessments of the eight sites listed below and their suitability for waste management purposes.
- Land west of Hawkhurst Road, Croydon
- Open area of land adjacent to Chessington Garden Centre, Kingston
- Land to the south of Silverglade Business Park, Kingston
- Land at the Hogsmill Valley, Kingston
- Wimbledon Greyhound Stadium, Merton
- Former gravel extraction works sites (the old Cemex site), Beddington Farmlands, Sutton
- Wandle Valley Trading Estate, Hackbridge, Sutton
- Land to the north of Jessop’s Way, Beddington, Sutton
