I feel that this project is not required in this part of the country. There are other existing freight interchange terminals and warehousing within a 50 mile radius, why is there a need for more. The project will cause irreparable damage to the local enviroment and wildlife ( Burbage common & farmland) and cause even more of a noise nuisance than already existing to the surrounding villages, both in terms of building and extra train and road traffic. The project will also have a dramatic visual effect on the landscape.
