There is not any justification for the 700,000 sq m of development other than it is approximately what the two interested developers have applied for. The L&L SSSD suggests that this would provide an OVERSUPPLY of non-railserved warehousing for all of Leicestershire beyond 2031, therefore restricting development elsewhere in the county, and appears to be an entirely opportunistic inclusion in the Local Plan.
Low unemployment locally would mean more in-commuting as most MP workers already live outside the district, with an attendant increase in traffic and pollution. Development beside a scheduled momunment is not safeguarding our historic heritage.
