Loss of local businesses and jobs.
Ecological concerns re effects of uncontrolled and unvaccinated dogs on wildlife and livestock.
Potential flooding.
Potential contamination to food crops.
Potential for more archaeological finds.
Large site out of character with area.
Traffic density concerns. Fosse Way well known for accident rates and little liklihood of upgrade or widening.
Access would cause traffic hazard.
Bus stops are on grass verge with no safe waiting positions.
Nearest GP surgery is some distance away and is full.
Public transport inadequate.
Characteristics need to be taken in historic context. Potential exploration of Fosse Way for archaeology.
Loss of quality agricultural land.
