Regarding paragraph 4.3.3, the Lutterworth SDA cannot be considered a sustainable development and meeting NPPF guidelines. There is not evidence to highlight the risk of splitting Lutterworth into two through the M1 causing a divided community, therefore the Policy L1 is not congruent with NPPF. Focus needs to be on improvement of the town centre to demonstrate that the vitality of rural communities can be enabled. The Sustainability Assessment 2015 highlights the significant distance from rail infrastructure.
