Representation ID: 5385

Received: 05/10/2017

Respondent: Mr Neil Blackhall

Legally compliant? Yes

Sound? No

Duty to co-operate? No

Representation Summary:

1. The proposed development is on green field land.
2. Is not served by a rail terminal (unlike nearby DIRFT).
3. Lutterworth has less than 1% unemployment, so new jobs are not required.
4. Any jobs will be low-skilled and not "reduce the dependence of Harborough's residents on commuting" by creating higher paid jobs.
5. It will destroy the archaeological site of Bittesby.
6. It will destroy footpaths and walking routes for local residents and visitors.

Therefore it is not JUSTIFIED
