Objections to HNRFI. The environment will suffer. Increased traffic, especially now the "goal posts" have been changed i.e. including Magna Park. This was not the original application and there is no direct link to Magna Park without coming through Church Street Burbage (direct route to the A5/Magna Park) which is already heavily overburdened with traffic, including LGV's using it as a "rat run". The village is just not built for the increased amount of traffic especially the aforementioned. More traffic indicates more fumes, additional dangers to pedestrians (crossing already is ignored by many and used by children making their way to school). The impact that will be caused to the area outlined by the company will be catastrophic. Also other outlying villages are not made for such heavy traffic as the main through roads are surrounded by housing. The impact to myself would be attempting to join Church Street from my driveway which is always a challenge and total disrespect for speed limits. I myself have already had damage to my vehicle by a passing bus whilst I was temporarily parked on the road because of the sheer volume of traffic. The amount of trains expected per day is stated could be up to 32 per day running presumably through Hinckley station disrupting the living quality of those living directly next to the rail line and again the noise of those trains going through the station
