Extra traffic on already overloaded local roads ,we already have bad congestion it will cause an immense increase in air and noise pollution in burbage, Hinckley and the surrounding villages. The proposed site is at the edge of burbage common an important country park for us all in burbage and Hinckley etc .trees will have to be felled and as some of the ware houses are 36 meters high and will be seen for miles .I have been going to the comm0n for over 70 years ,its a wonderful place with a lot of wildlife and birds used by many local people and and people from further afield. During and after construction the noise , dust and light and air pollution will be extremely detrimental to local people. The maps on display at the Tritax events were not at all accurate , country lanes being shown as main roads .
