Respondent: Norton Lindsey Parish Council

The proposed housing allocation of 30-80 houses detailed for Category 2 villages does not appear to be equitable in that the upper end of the Category 2. allocation is very close to the Category 1 allocation of 100 houses. The allocation should be reassessed.
Norton Lindsey can not support the rate of development proposed under the Category 2 classification and has a very limited range of services and facilities.
Development of the scale proposed would increase the volume of traffic on the roads through and exiting the village.

Norton Lindsey's historic conversation, landscape and architectural value are critically important when considering development and this should in particular avoid land bordering Ward's Hill to the north of the conservation area.
