Regulation 19 - Proposed Draft Local Plan Submission
Respondent: Burton Overy Parish Council
Representation Summary:
if taken in isolation, (i.e. by ignoring the nearby site allocations in Thurnby, Bushby, Scraptoft, Houghton in the Hill, Great Glen, Fleckney and Kibworth) the full impacts of the proposed Strategic Development Area south of Gartree Road will not be fully understood. Road communication in a general east-west direction from the entire eastern side of Leicester, either north or south of the city, to the M1 or A46 is already difficult because of traffic congestion which occurs for long periods during the day.
Change suggested by respondent:
Ensure a comprehensive strategic transport assessment is carried out to fully evaluate the cumulative impact of all site allocation proposals to the eastern side of Leicester prior to the adoption of these policies.

The draft policy anticipates that the transport impacts of the proposal will be informed by a Transport Assessment that sets out off site transport measures to mitigate impacts from the development. However, if taken in isolation, (i.e. by ignoring the nearby site allocations in Thurnby, Bushby, Scraptoft, Houghton in the Hill, Great Glen, Fleckney and Kibworth) the full impacts of the proposed Strategic Development Area south of Gartree Road will not be fully understood.

Regulation 19 - Proposed Draft Local Plan Submission
Respondent: Burton Overy Parish Council
Representation Summary:
The main roads around this proposal are already frequently grid-locked and barely able to cope with existing volumes of traffic. Adding additional residential and employment uses to the existing developed areas will create detrimental and unacceptable impacts on business efficiency and on commuting and social travel both in Harborough and in eastern Leicester.
Change suggested by respondent:
Undertake a comprehensive transport impact assessment which fully evaluates the cumulative impact of all the proposed site allocations to the eastern side of Leicester.
