Harborough Local Plan 2011-2031, Proposed Submission

Representation ID: 6073

Received: 01/11/2017

Respondent: Mr Brian Poulter

Legally compliant? Yes

Sound? No

Duty to co-operate? Yes

Representation Summary:

There is confusion as to 700,000 sq. m. Does this include the two planning applications currently lodged with HDC? If it does it is supported. However, if the 700k is an addition to those two applications it is not acceptable. The local area is already subject to excess of heavy & light vehicle traffic both on larger roads as well as B class roads (rat-runs). Additional traffic will bring the roads in the area to 'grid lock'. At certain times of the day The Whittle roundabout on the A4303/A426 is 'grid-locked' now.
