With the commitment of 1500 houses already on the Airfield Farm site, another 1140 in Market Harborough itself will overpower the town with infrastructure such as roads becoming unsustainable. Areas such as the roundabout at Aldi/Lidl is gridlocked and it can take a lot of time to travel through the town. The town doesn't have the capacity to increase road space and due to the location of these sites residents will be reliant on cars. The Airfield Farm site will end up linking with Alvington Way to avoid the town, increasing traffic on this road.
