Air Quality Officer Objects To 400 New Homes In Kibworth

The building of 400 new homes in Kibworth would impact badly on pollution.

That’s the view of Harborough Council’s Air Quality Officer, who has lodged a formal objection to the plan for 81 acres of fields between Wistow Road and Warwick Road.

Pollution levels from vehicle emissions on a section of the A6 are already breaching recommended health guidelines and an Air Quality Management Area is in force.

Gareth Rees says the impact of additional vehicles from the development would further add to the issue.
