Respondent: Mr & Mrs P Harris

Representation Summary:

Norton Lindsey is a rural village with an open character which would be completely transformed by implementing the proposal in the Local Plan to allow the construction of up to 80 new houses in the Warwick DC part of the village alone.

An additional factor would be the effect of any similar proposals contained in the Stratford-upon-Avon DC Core Strategy 2012, as the village effectively straddles the boundary between the two District Councils.

The NPPF itself recognises (at para 86) the need to protect villages of this type from unsuitable and excessive development by retaining them totally within the Green Belt.
