I object to the proposal of the HNRFI. Elmesthorpe is a small beautiful village which will be destroyed by this project. The traffic infrastructure will no be able to cope with a project of this size the noise and pollution level will impact the health everybody living in the surrounding area. I do no believe it is anything more than a warehousing development as there are two Rail freight terminal with 30 miles both of which are underutilised, also it would be better suit to a electrified trainline to cut down no pollution. We are all being told how important the environment is and we need to plant tree and get exercise so why would we destroy woodlands and command land where people exercise.
