Legally compliant? No

Sound? Yes

Duty to co-operate? No

Representation Summary:

The massive plans to substantially expand Magna Park would significantly increase the carbon emissions and footprint of our supposedly rural area.

Not only in its construction phase but due to the thousands of additional HGVs & commuter cars that would flood out onto our inadequate local road transport network.

Lutterworth already experiences some of the worst quality air in the County, which can only deteriorate still further with all these extra motor vehicles belching out their poisonous emissions.

These developments pose a grave public health issue as well as increasing the carbon footprint of the hitherto rural area around Lutterworth.
