Positive: New employment opportunities for the town and surrounding villages New M69 motorway access that may reduce town traffic Negative: Cycle route between Hinckley and Sapcote/Sharnford will require a longer deviation or need to cross newly formed heavy traffic access The overnight lorry park area which may attract crime, has been located adjacent to the existing open leisure areas. May be more appropriate to locate this near to the M69 roundabout where police could monitor more easily? Plans appear to have considered existing bridle route requirements but not taken the opportunity to introduce new circular walking/running/cycling gravel paths through new boundary screen planting New wildlife corridors could be incorporated to link existing habitats
