Harborough Local Plan 2011-2031, Proposed Submission

Representation ID: 7377

Received: 09/11/2017

Respondent: Mr Peter Osborn

Legally compliant? Yes

Sound? No

Duty to co-operate? No

Representation Summary:

I object to a further expansion of Magna Park which does not comply with the Local Plan for the area.
* 100,000 sq mtr has already been granted.
* The current proposal for 700,000 sq mtr would allow the approval of a further 2 outstanding applications for expansion of the site. Why is there a need for further expansion when there is another planned around the M69/A5 junction with a rail link.
Why increase the commuter traffic of low paid workers from outside the area when unemployment in Harborough and particularly Lutterworth is as low as 2%
