Representation Summary:

Bitteswell, as with Lutterworth is already meeting its social obligations with 4 (or more) new housing developments in area in the year 2016 - 2017 alone. The idea to build a dwelling development to the East of the M1 will destroy the local existing Lutterworth/Bitteswell community and identity. It will saturate the existing local resources and compromise the ability of the local schools to deliver their mandate of high quality education. It will turn a villiage with some identity into an urban sprawl, diluted from any persona and will reduce the quality of living of the existing residents.
