Respondent: Mrs Margaret Rogers

Representation Summary:

I do not believe that Norton Lindsey warrants being classified as a Category 2 Village.
PO3 states that 'Any housing development must be built close to existing services and facilities so that people do not have to travel far to get to schools, shops, leisure facilities or workplaces'
Norton Lindsey has very few of these and limited transport services. The school at the neighbouring village is fully subscribed and there is no shop or medical facilities. The roads in and out of the village are relatively narrow with tight bends and are not suitable for a significant increase in traffic flow.
