I object to this being built. Why build another rail freight hub when there are others nearby that are not even being used to 100% and are in decline. Burbage and surrounding towns cannot cope with the amount of traffic on the roads now let alone with hundreds more lorries and cars a day. More traffic will bring more pollution to the area which will affect peoples health. Burbage common is protected and should not be built on nor sure the surrounds fields. Where will the wildlife go? No green space in Burbage can affect peoples mental health and no nice spots to visit and walk. No green space for future generations. It won't bring many jobs to the area as most of the warehouse are full of robots so do not see potential. The m69 and A5 cannot cope with the new amount of traffic that is predicted.
