The proposed facilities do not meet the needs of the nearby residents, are harmful to the natural environment and are not in keeping with the immediate residential area.

I logged on this morning and just felt totally stunned by how many people have joined in since I first hit publish on this thing. It actually makes me feel like maybe we have a real shot at saving Bell Farm even though I spent the whole night worrying about those trucks moving in near our houses.

With so many distribution centres locally this one in particular will ruin what is a great rural view and a country access to the Marston forest centre development over the bypass. Why spend money expanding a country park area to ruin it with a mass distribution site?!
It's an absolute disgrace to even propose this unsightly and completely unnecessary "development" with so many vacant units in the area there is clearly no need for it. Already the traffic is horrendous at peak times without adding further access points onto the road. A lot of people have recently moved to this area and I doubt many would have if there was the slightest chance of this happening. I struggle to fathom the wisdom that would even consider this an acceptable or appropriate place for these units. The detrimental effect this would have on the local area and so many people's day to day lives is so obvious it seems unbelievable that this has not been dismissed out of hand.
Please do not disrupt the beauty of our new build houses for the sake of large companies that can afford the building of their warehouses in plenty of other spaces and for the benefit of our local community and with good access to major roads.
dont build the warehouses near homes.
Not in front of houses there are plenty of open spaces without building in front of residential homes.
Moved into Baldwin Walk in June 2015 there is enough noise pollution and traffic from the Marsh Leys estate as it stands currently. Putting this development of warhouses in direct view of houses that run parallel to Branston Way are no doubt causing home owners much distress at to what they are potentially going to have to go through and end up looking at. This is going to destroy a beautiful bit of land as well as making David Wilson and Barratt homes look very bad in the process - ruining any sort of reputation they may have.
The roads around this area are congested enough without adding more vehicles into the mix & the pollution that will go with it!

We moved to Walford grove in February, I imagined houses may be built there in the future but not warehouses, we walk our dog over that field at the moment, I would hate to wake up every morning and look out of my bedroom window over warehouses, if the warehouses were there before I bought this house I would not have moved here.
