I have just read this section on vision and feel that the stated aim is totally contrary to what will actually come about as a consequence of the plans for Magna Park, Lutterworth, all local villages will pay a high price.
Reality is Lutterworth and surrounds will not be " a vibrant, safe, prosperous place which retains its identity as a predominantly rural area of villages and market town, where local communities enjoy a high quality of life" .
In fact that idealistic lifestyle will be destroyed by 700,000 sq metres of extra warehousing etc and all the negative aspects that will follow. Low paid, low skilled employment will not enhance quality of life for any local community, just road misery, noise and air pollution etc.
IT IS RIDICULOUS TO SUGGEST THAT THIS VISION CAN BE ACHIEVED WITH PROPOSED PLANS.
HDC tell the truth please?

I also need to comment on the difficulty of using this site, it can only have been made so hard to discourage residents from commenting. This site is no doubt easy for planning office staff. Originally I was timed out and so asked for a paper copy, this request was opposed vociferously by a member of HDC staff and I had to persist. In fact by using up a large amount of time and effort I eventually succeeded in an online response, as I had doubts as to whether paper submissions would be included in comments.
This is supposed to be a democracy and residents views should be listened to not discouraged as is reality.
If HDC wish to improve quality of life for residents in the Lutterworth area and nearby villages, they should question their plans for it's District. It is already known that although we pay the same Council Tax as Harborough we get a very small amount of spend on our area and it is time for that to change and this local plan is an opportunity to address the inequalities., so please ensure the vision is not just for Harborough but for all of us, we have the same rights!!
