The site isn't as suitable as others on offer. It will not benefit the street scene or the amenity of the village. The plot would not be sustainable as mentioned above.
It falls way short of WDC's criteria when compared to others.
The sustainability of the site does not meet the criteria already set down by WDC.
The site is currently for sale at c£550,000 and may also require professional clearance as the current buildings may contain asbestos.
There are no public footpaths from the site so pedestrian access is very dangerous.
The site does flood as we have witnessed it.
The local area does not have any amenities or facilities to support the site.
Norton Lindsey doesn't have a doctors, shop or even a public house.
The site is within greenbelt and close to the conservation area and will not be in keeping with the local street scene.
I have looked at the other sites on the local plan and believe they are by far more suitable locations than the 2 pitches proposed for GT14.
The road is a dangerous road with frequent incidents and having extra vehicles turning into the location on a blind hazardous bend would be ludicrous.
