This proposal exceeds the demand for such warehousing across the whole of Leicestershire and such a concentration in a very small area cannot be justified.
The unemployment levels in Harborough District are very low so commuter levels would rise and other areas of the County would be deprived of the employment opportunities.
The local road system cannot cope with the greatly increased commuter and HGV traffic associated with all the distribution centres already in existence in the immediate area, so a huge expansion would be crippling.
The over-development on green field land on this scale cannot be justified.
