Harborough Local Plan 2011-2031, Proposed Submission
Representation ID: 5353
Received: 27/09/2017
Respondent: Mr Mark Phillip
Legally compliant? Yes
Sound? No
Duty to co-operate? Yes
There is no demand for more warehousing in this area
Any jobs created will not benefit local people
Jobs created will increase traffic flow into the area, not reduce it as stated as an objective in the plan.
The extra traffic will blight Lutterworth further with bad air quality and a town 'ruled' by HGV's
There is not sufficient highway infrastructure
The site is nowhere near a viable railhead.
This part of the local plan is completely abhorrent, it implies that the 2 existing planning applications for expansion to and closer to the town from magna park, still awaiting approval are in fact 'done deals' by the council. There is no need for either of these, they will not provide jobs for residents of Harborough, the majority will be low skilled and low paid jobs, not providing high skilled employment foe local people, as stated in the local plan. Nearby new distribution centres in rugby CANNOT EMPLOY SUFFICIENT STAFF and Police are stopping illegal immigrants arriving there on a daily basis to work, all of whom have also driven there illegally. To add even more jobs of this type is ridiculous.
