Noting increase in the size of Lutterworth, Gilmorton PC seeks establishdefined area of separation ensuring identity of village not compromised.

We note this site is to be further developed. As a neighbouring parish, Gilmorton already carries a significant amount of traffic to / from the site via Lutterworth Rd and Mill Lane. These roads, plus Kimcote Rd, have new housing developments approved, which will also increase the traffic movements. We are concerned that the cumulative effect of this development will exacerbate the overall traffic situation and would request that further details of proposed improvements are provided that address the concerns of local residents

There is no evidence showing the need for the existing site on Bonehams Lane be increased from the present 6 pitches to 16 pitches - an increase of 10 pitches. This site was originally intended for a close family unit and should remain as such.
