Representation ID: 5524

Received: 24/10/2017

Respondent: Mr Dennis O'Neill

Legally compliant? No

Sound? No

Duty to co-operate? No

Representation Summary:

This plan is completely disproportionate to the area's needs and ability to withstand future development. The current infrastructure, amenities and services cannot cope with the current level of traffic and business use, so to add yet more will be overstretching the roads, services and air quality beyond breaking point. It also bears no relation whatever to competing developments in Rugby, Corby and the surrounding area, so there is every chance that any such development will be left empty and all the destruction to the rural area caused will be rendered pointless.
