Respondent: Mr Benjamin Callis

Representation Summary:

The last minute flurry of supportive comments would appear to NOT be from local residents - possibly those with a vested interest?

The benefits to Swainsthorpe are exaggerated, I cannot think of any.

The disadvantages - environmental, health and safety risks from even greater congestion on the A140 and pollution from idling traffic, loss of arable land, unnecessary destruction of the countryside.

Ironic that

Ben Burgess chooses to build their new headquarters on productive arable land.

They're perfectly happy to build 25 houses on the same productive arable land.

How does that support farming?

Build new headquarters on brownfield/industrial land.
