Harborough Local Plan 2011-2031, Proposed Submission

Representation ID: 6110

Received: 02/11/2017

Respondent: Mrs Shiela Carlton

Legally compliant? No

Sound? No

Duty to co-operate? No

Representation Summary:

There should be no further development of warehousing for storage and distribution in this area. The proposed expansion is too large, exceeds all estimates of need (LLSDSS study) and there are many other sites needing local employment in other areas of Leics. It will add substantial traffic to already congested roads. Clearly the proposal is made solely in response to developers' pending planning applications and it seem that approval will inevitably follow without testing by representations from local residents.
