There is not demand for this amount of non- rail warehousing, as shown by research (LLEP SDSS 2017).
Bringing 10,000 largely low- skilled jobs to an area with an unemployment rate of less than 2%, where already 60% of staff travel from outside the area, is not good planning. The local roads are already congested, the A5 is known to be inadequate and pollution levels in Lutterworth are very high.
There is insufficient safeguarding of local countryside eg no green barrier for Ullesthorpe & Cotesbach.
Not in keeping with national plan as not near rail.
