Villagers of Shedfield, Curdridge, Wickham and Botley are greatly concerned about the proposed expansion of the Silverlake car re-cycling facility. This will be set in a rural countryside village location, sandwiched by residential housing. The huge expansion will require building over and destroying a large field, currently used for food farming. The application details a 16m (5 story) high factory like building of tens of thousands of square feet 120,000sqft with hardstanding; plus large recycling car battery building and offices. If implemented, this would make it a large national car re-cycling centre; all proposed in a beautiful village and rural countryside field.

All current similar sites throughout the UK and, for expample, the Poole site  are in industrial locations, which is the most appropriate environment for such factory-scale facilities. Let's object to this expansion in the wrong location and will affect these historic villages detrimentaly!
