 East Midlands Parkway Station (Land Acquisition) Order Inspector's Report
The proposal, which would be built on land to the west and south of Ratcliffe-on-Soar Power Station, would take access from a new junction on the adjacent A453 Trunk Road to the south of the site, via a new bridge to be constructed over the railway.
The power station lies to the east of the railway line; the proposed car park, access and station buildings would lie to the west.
The main grounds for the CPRE objection were the contravention of Green Belt policy, the encouragement of car use, the misdirection of financial support and the impact of additional road traffic that would be attracted by the proposed station.
