10 existing/planned warehouse facilities within close proximity. Low unemployment in proposed area - this should be built in high unemployment area. Construction data very scant. Local roads will be unable to cope with additional traffic. Tritax have underestimated number of additional vehicles (cars and HGV). Increase in noise must be quantified as this is likely to be unacceptable. Flooding in this area is a major concern. Air quality will be severely affected during construction and afterwards. Such screening of the development as planned is not appropriate/will take years to mature. Rail capacity at Narborough is insufficient. The development can only be harmful to the local nature reserve and SSI.
