Respondent: Mrs Diana Howlett

Legally compliant? No

Sound? No

Duty to co-operate? No

Representation Summary:

Currently small rural communities co exist with the expansion of Magna Business Park and Lutterworth. However I feel quite simply the site is big enough, and that we have had our share of development. By eating further into the countryside adjacent to Ullesthorpe, Bitteswell and Lutterworth will inevitably destroy the natural hinterland/ boundary between industry and rural living. The effects on the environment will change the area for good, having a very detrimental effect on public health, both physically and mentally. Any economic benefits for the area are very short term and of minimal impact for the local community.
