The South London Waste Plan
Landfill space is running out and buried waste releases climate-changing gases. New ways of dealing with waste are needed. Croydon, Kingston, Merton and Sutton are working together to meet this challenge by developing the South London Waste Plan.
Stage 2a ‘Additional Sites’ Consultation
Last year, we asked residents to comment on potential sites for future waste management facilities and draft policies to guide their development. During that consultation, an additional eight sites were put forward by respondents as being worthy of consideration.
The eight sites have been assessed using the site screening process applied at the previous consultation stage. All of them scored relatively poorly when compared with the shortlist of 28 potential sites identified in the previous consultation. The poor scores indicate that a number of obstacles have been identified which would constrain their development for waste management purposes.
From 8 February to 22 March 2010 we are inviting comments on the assessments of the eight sites listed below and their suitability for waste management purposes. We are not asking for comments on the sites or policies identified in earlier consultations, nor inviting people to identify any further sites.
- 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
You must send us your responses by no later than midnight on Monday 22 March 2010. We cannot extend this consultation period.

Your views will help develop the final version of the South London Waste Plan due to be published in autumn 2010. It will then be submitted to the Secretary of State for examination by an independent planning inspector.
