Sound? No
Duty to co-operate? No
The proposal for 700000sqmetres of units is far beyond the capabilities of the local infrastucture to cope with. It is opportunist on the part of developers who wish to maximise their profits at the expense of the locality. There are empty units on the DERFT site with rail access and more speculative units being built on the southern edge of Lutterworth. I believe this proposal is being Railroaded by Political decisions and is not justified on the basis of need. The knock-on effect on local roads,traffic ,schools and pollution will be appalling.
