The A5 and adjacent road infrastructure is not currently adequate for any further traffic.
700,000 sq mtrs is far too much and seems to be very convenient as it happens to be the total of the outstanding applications.
DHL plan has already been approved.
Magna Park is not on a rail head like Dirft - also being expanded and is also going to impact the A5
Not that many unemployed in the area so more commuters on the road.
I really object to this expansion of Magna Pak. It really is big enough as it is and there are already spare unrented units so why do we need more of them? A 100,000 sq mt unit (DHL) has already been agreed. We soon will have an over expansion of warehousing in the area with the development of Crick (Dirft development). That has a rail link which I thought was more the way it was going not non rail linked development?
There is not a shortage of work in the area and a lot of current workers are not local and commute.
The A5 does not cope currently in rush hour, particularly when there are issues on the M6 and M1. More development will mean more HGV's and commuter traffic - both on the A5 and local village roads in the area - most villages around are already used as a "rat-run".
It will take away more farm land currently used for walking and ruin protected areas such as Bittesby village.
No plans seem to be in place to help walkers cross the A5.

There is no rail link to Magna park. Dirft at Crick has the rail link and that is already being expanded. We will have too much warehousing in the area.

There is little unemployement in the area currently. A lot of the current workforce commute into the area adding to the chaos on the A5 and other local roads. Warehouse work does not appeal to many of the younger generation who have degrees and feel they should be working in the field of expertise.

The A5 can hardly cope with the existing traffic. If there is an issue on the M1 or M6 it comes to a standstill and all the local roads and villages suffer as a result.
More traffic is already desinted for the A5 as a result of the Dirft develpment and the new "village" being created outside of Rugby on the old BT site.
It will be intollerable to the local residents - many of whom have already muted moving away if Magna Park gets any bigger.

The noise and light pollution is already bad so it will become worse.
The traffic coming through the villages is increasing and will become worse even in the evenings.
The landscape in the area is already dominated by Magna Park - expanding down the A5 will ruin the landscape in the immediate area. We have walks that will be ruined - wildlife areas wrecked, Bittesby village endangered,.
Access to existing footpaths taken away and making crossing the A5 impossible.
