National Planning Policy Framework states that rail freight is preferable and that warehousing and distribution sites should have access to rail. There are other locations close to Magna Park where this is possible
The A5 is already an inadequate road for current traffic volumes. No major upgrading is envisaged
This would lead to a clear oversupply of warehousing. There are already empty units at this location
Ullesthorpe village already experiences HGV traffic which should not be using High Cross Road where there is a 7.5T limit except for loading. this is not policed and will inevitably be worse in future
