This proposed project sits right amongst many food factories producing a great deal of food for the nation. This project sits very close to housing and the proposed area sits within or indeed very close to the long term housing development land. It sits on or very close to one of the main trunk roads into wisbech. The proposed site will also affect the proposed reopening of the wisbech railway. There is a major secondary school within a few hundred meters of this proposed site. There are also 3 special education schools within a matter of meters of this proposal. I also note that the likely increase of heavy road vehicles travelling to this site will cause disruption and would likely run 24 hours a day 7 days a week. I am no expert in this but as a resident who lives not far away from this proposal I fully oppose this going ahead in our town. These facilities need to be out of a town and in a very rural locations not within a thriving market town. I believe that this is the wrong site in the wrong location and the business behind it seem to be 'chancing their arm' Furthermore I have grave concerns about the company propsing this and their ability to follow the law and to their business integrity. Since the start of this process they have been opaque at best and downright dishonest at times. They don't care about Wisbech and are only thinking about the commercial aspect. Sincerely Ben Carter
