Survey the Impact of Industry in Yapton and Ford
A: Undergo a full Environmental Impact assessment for the Waste Recycling site at:
T J Waste, Burndell Road, Yapton, Arundel, BN18 0HR
And any possible expansion of that site’s capacity (which currently processes 25,000 tonnes of waste per year) and publish any assessment made throughout the ward.
B: conduct a comprehensive investigation of all traffic throughput on the Waste Recycling Site at the above address, to ensure compliance with the existing legal agreements on the routing of all HGV traffic. Such an investigation is requested to include detailed public reports on the traffic observed, and methods used.
C: reaffirm its commitment to protecting any and all greenfield sites, no matter how small or rarely travelled, wherever they are in the county.
Why is this important?
Owing to recent council decisions, the people and communities of the Yapton ward are concerned about the future of their home. Environmental damage, noise and air pollution, and the increased risk of fatal or serious traffic incidents are all at risk of increasing due to the operation of various industrial sites within the parishes. Many of these sites are subject to legal agreements to ensure the impact of their operation is as small as possible. Many in the area are not satisfied that these obligations are being fulfilled. In addition, some industrial sites are to expand in the near future, meanwhile West Sussex County Council have not commissioned full environmental impact assessments to determine how these will affect the local area. We are therefore petitioning West Sussex County Council to undertake these investigations
