Representation Summary:

Lutterworth is already meeting its social obligations with 4 (or more) new housing developments in the year 2016 - 2017 alone. The idea to build a 1500+ dwelling development to the East of the M1 will destroy the local existing Lutterworth 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 Market Town with some identity into an urban sprawl, diluted from any persona and will reduce the quality of living of the existing residents.
