Impact on Burbage woods & common for start. There will be an increase in pollution to what is a place of national importance as its one of only a few ancient woodlands. These sites also generate litter and rubbish that is blown around which can be seen in any industrial area which will have a negative impact on the wild life. There will be an increase in traffic pulled through all the local villages on roads that cant handle the traffic that they have at the moment. Increase in traffic through the villages which will also lead to an increase in pollution for the villages. People live in villages for the way of life and most do not want the extra noise and pollution. Personal I like the quiet roads around the villages to, nice drive through the countryside which for Burbage is now being spoilt by an increasing band on industrial parks around its borders. The area is becoming the epicenter for distribution which means we get the traffic on our roads that its suppose to reduce.
