Very low levels of unemployment in Harborough District (Less than 2% "Office for National Statistics 2017") which will result in increased commuting adding further congestion and pollution. Adding a further 10,000 of similar type jobs at Magna Park would contradict one of the local plan goals to reduce out-commuting, An additional 100,000 sq mtrs of warehousing has already been agreed along with further developments only a few miles off Magna Park which will lead to over supply of warehouse land. NPPF states that there is a preference for warehouse/distribution sites to be based on railheads.
