PO12 describes the need to adopt 'a policy of requiring a 20% reduction in carbon emissions in all significant developments' and 'requiring that new development is designed to adapt to the future impacts of climate change'.
Due to the lack of facilities in, poor public transport to, and lack of cycle access to Norton Lindsey, the building of more houses in the village would result in a significant increase in car journeys to and from the village. This would increase carbon emissions and have a negative future impact on climate change.
Thus, Norton Lindsey does not meet the requirements of PO12.
