The developer behind a £550 million rail freight and warehousing complex in the Leicestershire countryside is extending its consultation into the proposals following public criticism.
Tritax Symmetry is extending the statutory consultation for the 440 acre Hinckley National Rail Freight Interchange until Friday, April 8. It began on January 12 and had been due to conclude on March 9.
Earlier this month South Leicestershire MP Alberto Costa, who had already raised serious concerns about the plans, said he had been contacted by a “large number” of constituents alarmed at what he said was a lack of detail at public exhibitions.
