  • 2005/1887/03: G.W. Burton
    D DEVELOPMENT CONTROL AND REGULATORY BOARD 20 TH APRIL 2006 REPORT OF THE DIRECTOR OF COMMUNITY SERVICES COUNTY MATTER G.W. BURTON – PROPOSED TIPPING OF INERT MATERIALS ONTO FORMER RAILWAY CUTTING, SWINFORD ROAD, LUTTERWORTH (HARBOROUGH DISTRICT) 2005/1887/03 – 20 th December 2005 Background 1. This application was originally submitted in May 2005, but registration was delayed for some months pending the submission of necessary additional information and the correct fee. Following consultations with the agent, additional information has been secured on the type and sources of waste; rate of infilling; traffic generation; days of operation; finished contours; calculation of quantities of material; restoration rates; plant; and the ‘case’ for the development. 2. The proposal relates to the infilling of the disused railway cutting of a section of the Great Central Railway on the south side of Lutterworth. The route of the Great Central Railway runs from the southern tip of the County parallel to the M1 motorway, through Leicester City and forms the route of the private steam trust between Birstall and Loughborough in the north of the County. Much of the route has been lost to redevelopment, especially in the Leicester urban area, although isolated sections have been land-filled in the past. 3. This section of the railway line has remained vacant for many decades and runs in a deep cutting on either side of the Swinford Road. The surrounding road network has been altered with the construction of the Lutterworth Southern Bypass (A4304), and re-alignment of Rugby Road from the new roundabout junction between A426/A4304 (near junction 20 of the M1 motorway).
