Harborough Local Plan 2011-2031, Proposed Submission
Representation ID: 7222
Received: 17/11/2017
Respondent: Mrs Janet McKeag
Legally compliant? No
Sound? No
Duty to co-operate? No
Not needed
Not wanted
Not near a rail freight depot
will destroy habitat
I wish to object to the above proposal because -
1:There is a low level of unemployment in the area (2%) and so we do not need the number of new jobs this increase in warehouse space would generate.
2: Additional workers would need to be drawn from a wider area thus increasing traffic and also pollution.
3: the type of employment is generally low skilled, low paid and so will not serve the needs of Harborough residents as outlined in Key issue 3
4:The proposed site is not near a preferred rail freight access
5The site will cause light pollution and increase the amount of debris that accumulates along the grass verges of theA5 ( collecting litter does not appear to be high up on the councils agenda )
6: the buildings will spoil the rural landscape and destroy wildlife habitat ( the UK is positioned 189 out of 218 of the most biodiversive depleted countries ).
