The current scale of the Scraptoft North plans are unsound.The reduction of green wedges would essentially make Scraptoft a suburb of Leicester and no longer a village .The doubling of the number of houses in the area would be beyond the current roads to cope with traffic.The majority of roads out of Scraptoft are have speed bumps or road narrowing.The A47 Station Lane junction is already at capacity and leads to mile long queues .Any additional roads would destroy more of what should be kept.
