Respondent: Mr Robert Cammidge

Representation Summary:

Developing plans to accommodate future housing growth must reflect the impact of climate change and the need to establish sustainable buildings in locations where these key factors are minimised. Development of the scale proposed in Norton Lindsey would disproportionately increase the size of the village and due to a lack of public transport services potentially increase private vehicles by around 160. This would add dramatically to green house gas emissions and runs counter to the Council's policy on both climate change and sustainability.
