M1-4 - sensible places although as they are all on carparks it is essential that any development also results in an increase in the number of available parking places. As this will probably mean multi-storey there would be much wider ramifications for the areas chosen.
I note that 007M/11 is already partially being used as a retirement development.
There needs to be further though to identify employment areas beyond those already in use. I do note that there are a number of existing 'brown field' sites within MH with are either underused or currently unused.

Access to highways is categorised as 'red' with the commentary given as 'no'. It is unclear why it is given this category given the assessment of the site in the SEELA 2017 deems highways access arrangements suitable in principle. Representations submitted to Policy H1, set out both the appropriate access arrangements off Swinford Road and traffic-light controlled pedestrian and cycle crossing at Lutterworth Road to improve existing links as effective and non-prohibitive mitigation measures. In addition, measures are already planned for the Frank Whittle roundabout as part of the mitigation strategy for the East of Lutterworth SDA.
