The future of an “invaluable” Hampshire recycling centre could be secured for another decade after a new planning application were submitted.

Planning permission for the temporary use of land in Romsey is set to expire on December 31.

To prevent closure, Hampshire County Council, acting as the waste disposal authority, has applied to keep the centre open so residents can continue disposing of their household waste.

If approved, the Casbrook HWRC, in Bunny Lane near Romsey, would stay open until December 31, 2035.

An application has also been submitted for the centre in Hayling Island, located off Fishery Lane.

Both centres are single-level sites on county council–owned land and have served their communities for more than 40 years. They are run by a management contractor appointed by the council.

During 2023/24, the Hayling Island HWRC received 1,694 tonnes of waste, with 56 per cent recycled or reused.

In the same period, the Casbrook HWRC took in 3,056 tonnes of waste, with 57 per cent recycled or reused.

The county council said both centres are “invaluable” to residents in Hayling Island, Romsey and the surrounding areas, and play an important role in its waste-recycling efforts.
