Representation Summary:

To the best of my knowledge there has been no representation or opinions asked of any of the local residents in Lutterworth town, so cannot have been positively prepared, justified or effective. , Lutterworth town centre is in desperate need of a North-South Bypass with noise traffic, HGV's and pollution currently running at a national record high. Developer funded bypass must be done first. Can't allow small developers to come in and pick off sites without having to put any infrastructure in place. They must contribute proportionately to bypass as well as improved shopping, schooling and medical services.

To the best of my knowledge there has been no representation or opinions asked of any of the local residents in Lutterworth town, so cannot have been positively prepared, justified or effective. As to its consistency with National Policy, I must wait for HDC to provide me with further guidance.
With reference to Misterton East Development Plan (L1) for at least 15,000 houses, Lutterworth town center is in desperate need of a North-South Bypass with noise traffic, HGV's and pollution currently running at a national record high. So in order to achieve this bypass we urgently need to raise a significant loan to start to build the bypass through the proposed development area to meet up with the A4304 at Misterton, east of the M1 island at Junction 20.
THIS MUST BE DONE FIRST.
There is absolutely no point in allowing small developers to come in and pick off sites, build up to 100 houses then pull out without having to put any infrastructure in place. As has already been happening in and around Lutterworth recently. Developers MUST be made to pay from the HUGE profits to be made from selling new houses, to create this new bypass. With so many new houses planned, money should also be made available to finance improved shopping, schooling and medical services, so a proportionate amount should also be taken from each developer in order to achieve this.
