This is a huge project destroying acres of green fields & wildlife. During construction all surrounding areas, private houses, business & people will be severely disrupted on a daily basis for many months. Should planning be granted the increased volume of lorries & cars will be horrendous for everyone in the surrounding areas. The Northern Perimeter Road from the A5 through Hinckley is already extremely busy during rush hour & is a nightmare for local residents who want to exit right & it is usually safer to turn left & go round the island putting extra time & distance on journeys. This will be at least10 times worse if this project is given the go ahead as new housing estates & schools have also increased traffic 100% in the area. The area which is being considered for this massive project is beautiful, full of green fields & abundant wildlife & to give the go ahead would be criminal killing animals, insects, plants, trees, flowers & much more as well as destroying residential life for 10’s of thousands of village people. Please refuse & request they find an alternative area that will not affect the huge amount of people & wildlife as this would - there has to be areas where these numbers would be far less & therefore more acceptable.
