We object to the designation of a parcel of land to the west of Rugby Road, Lutterworth as a 'Local Green Space ' (as shown on Inset Map: 64 (Lutterworth, Bitteswell and Magna Park)). The designation is not justified and, as such, Policy GI4 is unsound.
We wish to register our objection to Policy GI4. Specifically, we object to the designation of a parcel of land to the west of Rugby Road, Lutterworth as a 'Local Green Space ' (as shown on Inset Map: 64 (Lutterworth, Bitteswell and Magna Park).
In order to assess the validity of the proposed designation of land to the west of Rugby Road, Lutterworth (as part of a wider parcel of proposed Local Green Space), an 'Outline Landscape and Visual Appraisal' has been undertaken. The full report is appended to this letter of representation. In summary, the report concludes that there is very little weight that can be attached to landscape and visual matters that would support the designation of the area as a Local Green Space when considered against the criteria of paragraph 77 of the NPPF.
The designation of land to the west of Rugby Road, Lutterworth is not justified and, as such, Policy GI4 is unsound.
