Building 30-80 houses in Norton Lindsey will not comply with the specified needs as detailed in the plan to:
 "Protect the historic environment"
* Norton Lindsey enjoys an historic hill top setting with adjacent medieval ridge and furrow fields which will have previously provided food for the village - the village is very sensitive to development due to the prominent location. It is essential that the nature and character of Norton Lindsey is not severely compromised by development
 Design for safe communities and good access to services
* Norton Lindsey has a poor road network, a limited number of footpaths within the village and no cycle paths, additional housing requires an infrastructure which does not exist in Norton Lindsey.
* There are no shops or medical facilities within the village.
* The school falls within Stratford upon Avon District Council and is fully subscribed.
 Design to reduce carbon emissions
* The location of Norton Lindsey and the essential use of private vehicles will increase carbon emissions.
* Norton Lindsey has 4 buses per week leaving the village, 2 to Stratford and 2 to Solihull.
* There is no safe route to cycle from the village.
