I consider that the construction of HNRFI will have severe consequences for the area such as: - Severe Environmental impact including potential flooding, and increased noise pollution - Highway issues, with significantly increased traffic congestion through the villages as they have stated that there could be between 4,500 to 10,000 HGV movements per day - Poor location given its proximity to local villages, and the area is already well served by SEGRO at East Midlands airport handling the same number of rail freight movements -16/day - from Felixstowe, as Tritax intend to serve, and Magna Park further south - Air quality will be significantly impacted - Impact on Narborough level crossing with so many freight movements per day - Will destroy the local village communities with impact on ecology, biodiversity, heritage & identities
