Speaking after the virtual Planning Meeting, Lutterworth Labour Councillor Paul Beadle said:
"I am extremely disappointed by the decision to give the massive development at Lutterworth East the go-ahead, despite local concerns.
"Permission was nodded through despite members acknowledging that County's current plan isn't the best option for relieving traffic in the town centre, and despite serious concerns around noise, air pollution and road safety.
"It was a narrow vote, going through five to four. It was extremely disappointing that of those voting for the application none represented Lutterworth. Speakers from Lutterworth were all opposed to the application in its current form but our objections counted for nothing."
