There is no need for this additional storage on this site. There is already one unit which has remained unlet for over 12 months. The amount of traffic any extension will cause will only exacerbate the already overcrowded local roads.. Not only with extra pollution from more HGVs but from the staff cars which will work at the site. Staff will have to be drawn from the major conurbations of Leicester Hinckley ,Coventry and Rugby as there is minimal unemployment in the local area
in order to help comply with Government intensions to reduce pollution from HGVs .Warehouse developments of this scale should be sited at railheads of which DIRFT is currently being expanded and there are proposals for another near the M69/A5 junction .The proposed road widening will only facilitate the site and will cause extra bottle necks in the immediate area and elsewhere.. In addition when traffic is frequently divert from both the M1 and M6 these roads cannot cope now
