This is a badly planned, unnecessary development that is going to have a significant impact on the lives of local residents and wildlife. There are a number of similar interchanges built (or under construction) within a short distance of this location which are no where near capacity or even being used as intended. The local road and rail network cannot cope with the significant increase in traffic that this development will bring. This includes the lives that will get lost through increased Road Traffic Incidents due to the increased traffic on a local road network that is already stretched. There will also be irreversible damage to the local environment through increased road, noise and light pollution and loss of local habitat and farmland.
