This proposal is based on very flawed evidence. There is no evidence that Magna Park requires additional warehousing. Vast areas of land are being converted at the former Rugby Wireless Station site and there is more than enough capacity for further growth at the DIRFT site. Both of which are closer to motorway access and Rail Freight access affording easier lorry access. Proposals to build a further 700,000 sq metres on a site that is only accessible from the already overused A5 road can only be seen as speculative and has no relationship to real warehousing requirement
