Regulation 19 - Proposed Draft Local Plan Submission
Policy SA02: Land South of Gartree Road Strategic Development Area
Respondent: Burton Overy Parish Council
Representation Summary:
The proposed site allocation will have a substantial impact on the existing transport infrastructure. 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.
Full text:
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. 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.

Regulation 19 - Proposed Draft Local Plan Submission
Respondent: Burton Overy Parish Council
Representation Summary:
the proposals would generate, the recent flooding in Great Glen and Burton Overy (reported on national news bulletins) caused extreme distress for residents. The proposed development would inevitably add to this burden leading to increased risk of flooding in the lower lying parts of the nearby villages. Any flood risk assessment anticipated in this draft policy needs to take account of its impact on ‘downstream’ communities and not just the immediate development site.
