Strategically important waste management sites within the Borough, where waste
management activities will be supported in principle, are identified on the Policies
Map. These sites include the site of the former Arden Brickworks in Bickenhill, which
contains the household waste recycling centre, and a range of other waste
management operations, the materials recovery facilities at Berkswell and Meriden
Quarries, the composting facilities in Berkswell, and the Moat Lane and Chapelhouse
Depot waste transfer stations in the Mature Suburbs and North Solihull.
6.
When investigating the suitability of sites for waste management operations in the
Borough, the potential for consolidating or expanding waste management facilities at
the former Arden Brickworks site, for locating waste management facilities on
appropriate industrial sites or employment areas within the Borough, and for the colocation of complementary waste operations at Berkswell and Meriden quarries shall
be considered. Where it is not possible or appropriate for new operations to be
developed on-site or in these locations, developers shall consider the potential of
sites within the Area of Search for waste management facilities identified on the
Policies Map.
Household Waste and Recycling Centre

Land within Site UK2 Land at Damson Parkway, (which is allocated for employment
purposes in Policy P1 and Policy UK2) could potentially accommodate a relocated
Household Waste and Recycling Facility.
Criteria for suitability of waste management proposals

108
The Council will have regard to the following criteria in considering the suitability of
sites for waste management facilities:
i.
The contribution towards national and local waste management strategies,
objectives and targets, including the Solihull Municipal Waste Management
strategy 2010-2020 (or its replacement)
ii.
The contribution towards economic development and employment in the
Borough, particularly in or accessible from the North Solihull Regeneration
Area
iii.
The contribution to national and local targets to reduce greenhouse gas
emissions, taking account of those resulting directly from the operations
(Policy P9), and those from the transport of wastes from the source of
arisings to the point of end management
iv.
The potential for on-site management associated with development and other
uses
v.
The potential for the development of shared facilities for more than one waste
planning authority where these would accord with this policy
vi.
The potential for the co-location of complementary activities where there are
no adverse cumulative impacts
vii.
The contribution towards the restoration of former mineral workings in the
Borough
