For a year, Badgers Mount residents have fought against two proposals submitted by developers as part of the 'call for sites' for the Kent Minerals and Waste Development Framework: an aggregates recycling centre on the former Chelsfield Ammunition Depot (owned by FM Conway) and a 'waste recycling facility' - aka an incinerator - near Hewitt's Roundabout at the other end of the Orpington by-pass.
Both plans were a serious threat to the way of life of Badgers Mount community. I worked closely with the Badgers Mount Residents Association to oppose these plans - making the case to KCC officers and Members, and speaking for the community at a related planning inquiry.
