Representation Summary:

This is not sound:
Currently poor water management with the brook regularly flooding as can't cope with the increases from new and existing developments.
Scraptoft has grown exponentially in recent years and real risk of loss of identify/separation from Leicerster city.
Already insufficient roads. Proposed exit routes aren't viable leading to rat-running through Scraptoft/country lanes as not all traffic will head to Leicester e.g. A47/Station Rd junction, Hard to see how Keyham Lane with 3 schools could be upgraded

Other sites such as Brockshill in Oadby might be better as these already have infrastructure
