The Norton Lindsey Housing Needs Survey of November 2011, identified the need for 3 new affordable homes in Norton Lindsey. Taking the survey results and applying your requirement for 40% of new homes on developments of 5 or more dwellings in rural areas to be affordable housing, Norton Lindsey would require additional 7-8 new dwellings, significantly less than the 30-80 new houses proposed under the Local Plan. This is an indication that the village does not have the need, nor the capacity to cope with such proportionately large development.
