Strongly object to this being built. It is not needed as other rail freight hubs are not that far away. Other rail hubs not being used to full potential so why built another? Why not use them. The traffic in Burbage and surrounding towns is already bad and bringing hundreds of lorries to the roads in this area will cause major traffic and noise problems and pollution problems. To built this on the land of Burbage common and surrounding fields is so sad for all the wildlife that will die and be misplaced. No greenery for our future generations. Burbage and surround villages won't be villages anymore with all these warehouses. Nearby freight terminals are in decline so why built another?
