The level of planned development in Market Harborough will intrinsically devalue it as a market town and an attractive place to live. As a resident the town is extremely difficult to get around and the proposed development will only increase congestion. It will no longer be compact in nature but a sprawling area of housing development. None of these areas have a core at the heart to promote community and 'getting to know your neighbour'. The town will become sterile and lose the ability to attract visitors that contribute to the economy.
