Multiple concerns in relation to this proposed development: 1. Concerns relating to the lack of proper consultation having been undertaken by the developer. 2. Lack of adequate road and rail transport mitigations. Particularly: a. A47 road - lack of any plan to take traffic away from the A47, which is an already congested highway. b. M69 motorway - Lack of any plan to improve the junction with the M1 (J21). Congestion at this junction is already at dangerous levels. c. Absence of a viable ring road for Stoney Stanton and Sapcote settlements. d. Complete absence of any proposals to deal with the increased closed barrier time and the resulting congestion at Narborough rail station and in the village itself. e. The impact upon local Fosse Villages from increased 'rat run' traffic has not been assessed nor addressed. 3. Impact upon local Fosse Villages of increased noise, light and air pollution.
