Legally compliant? Yes
Sound? No
Duty to co-operate? Yes
CPRE Leicestershire thinks that the evidence for 7,000 sq m conveniently concurs with the two outstanding planning applications for this area of warehousing. We believe that this proposal is opportunistic and not strategic.
Reports (the LLEP SDSS, 2017) indicate that there is less demand than in this HDC policy. Putting a huge area of warehousing at Magna Park, in an area of low unemployment would be disadvantageous when it could be developed in other areas of the county that have already developed this specialism and have higher unemployment.
