My concerns are the scale of this project and the impact from increased traffic volumes particularly in relation to roads in Hinckley and the link to Leicester road and the A47. Also very concerned about Burbage common and the negative impact on this very important green space for everyone who uses this area and it’s biodiversity. Noise I hear the trains from my home and I am concerned about increased train noise, crane noise and traffic noise. I accept the need to move freight off the road network but am concerned that the majority of the development apppears to be focussed on warehousing linked to the m69. Impact on employment- there is already a significant shortage of have drivers and warehouse workers in this area meaning most employees on the site will need to commute in. Concerned about how this will further reduce the ability of local small businesses to recruit and retain staff.
