Research has shown the demand for non-rail freight warehousing is lower than this across the WHOLE county. This indicates an oversupply in a small area. National Policy preferences are to have distribution sites with rail freight access
The local road infrastructure is already under pressure and the A5 is inadequate already. There is no indication of major upgrades. Commuting into the location will increase putting further pressure on the infrastructure
There is no mention of green space preservation between Magna Park and Cotesbach or Ullesthorpe
There are already empty units now without further development
