Representation ID: 6503
Received: 30/10/2017
Respondent: MISTERTON WITH WALCOTE Parish Council
Legally compliant? No
Sound? No
Duty to co-operate? No
Object to allocation because;
- plan has not demonstrated a need for this development (ref. Para 15.2.11)
- it opens up further land to the south of A4303 to development pressure, as no natural or landscape barrier with surrounding countryside
- it's not been tested through consultation, differs from Options stage proposal
-includes grade 2 agricultural land, so contrary to selection criteria and policy GI5.3
-access likely to cause excess traffic congestion (4 traffic light controlled junctions within 0.73miles between site and A426) in combination with extra traffic generated by policies L1, BE2, BE4 and displaced from Lutterworth town centre.
Walcote Parish Council wishes to make the following representations concerning the Harborough Local Plan.
Misterton with Walcote Parish Council is concerned that the consultation process has not been used to inform a number of policies proposed in the Harborough Local plan. This does not encourage participation, as the public has had no opportunity to express its views concerning these policies and indeed it seems that some new policies are entirely at odds with the opinions expressed in the earlier consultation.
