This development is completely out of proportion to the area's needs - it is claimed this will bring in much needed employment, yet Lutterworth and the surrounding areas is one of the most highly-employed areas in the county. All it can bring in is extra traffic as the public transport doesn't exist, thus increasing congestion, air pollution and difficulty in travelling. It will also be in competition with considerably sized similar developments in and around Rugby, Corby and other surrounding areas.

An objection is raised at the imposition of a maximum floor space area of 9,000sq.m. It is suggested a more flexible approach should be taken that responds positively to economic demand and opportunities in accordance with national policy (see bullet point 3 of paragraph 21 of the Framework).
Employment Land (e)
The Consortium is supportive of the allocation of 13 ha of non-strategic storage and distribution uses on land to the south of the A4304 as part of the Strategic Development Area. It is appropriate to identify land for additional B8 employment uses in the South West Leicestershire growth area, and in specific locations attractive to the market for logistics and storage. Locating employment land close to new areas of residential land will provide new opportunities for people to live and work in close proximity, and represents sustainable economic growth. Furthermore, this part of the SDA could deliver significant value to help fund necessary offsite infrastructure at an early stage in the development of the allocation.

Our property, Park Lodge, Misterton, is situated directly adjacent to the East of Lutterworth proposed development and overlooks the land to the south of the A4304.
Section 15.2.11 of Harborough District Council's Local Plan Proposed Submission 2011- 2031 states that 'The site to the south of the A4304 is for business uses within Use Class Order B8'
Section 15.2.12 states that 'B8 uses [are] incompatible with residential amenity.'
As such if the plan is to be implemented it will be incompatible with us continuing to reside at Park Lodge, Misterton.

Object to allocation because;
- plan has not demonstrated a need for this development (ref. Para 15.2.11)
- it opens up further land to the south of A4303 to development pressure, as no natural or landscape barrier with surrounding countryside
- it's not been tested through consultation, differs from Options stage proposal
-includes grade 2 agricultural land, so contrary to selection criteria and policy GI5.3
-access likely to cause excess traffic congestion (4 traffic light controlled junctions within 0.73miles between site and A426) in combination with extra traffic generated by policies L1, BE2, BE4 and displaced from Lutterworth town centre.
Walcote Parish Council wishes to make the following representations concerning the Harborough Local Plan.
Misterton with Walcote Parish Council is concerned that the consultation process has not been used to inform a number of policies proposed in the Harborough Local plan. This does not encourage participation, as the public has had no opportunity to express its views concerning these policies and indeed it seems that some new policies are entirely at odds with the opinions expressed in the earlier consultation.
