Representation ID: 6468

Received: 06/11/2017

Respondent: Mrs Christine Brookes

Legally compliant? Yes

Sound? No

Duty to co-operate? Yes

Representation Summary:

I strongly object. This proposed extension to Magna park will increase traffic and light pollution in the immediate vicinity and surrounding villages on a 24 hour basis, . Any proposed road upgrades will not solve this problem but will rather add to noise pollution in the nearby villages. The landscape will be permanently disfigured and wildlife habitats will disappear. Harborough District council would be seen to be prepared to safeguard their own environment by creating an industrial wasteland on a colossal scale in a corner of the district which does not impact on Leicestershire alone.
