Revised Development Strategy
Representation ID: 55644
Received: 28/07/2013
Respondent: Norton Lindsey Parish Council
Supports proposal to establish new village envelopes to enable limited development to take place but concerned that Developers will see this as a 'green light' and not an objective for the period of the plan.
The phasing of developments is crucial to enable small communities to absorb new housing and to grow community facilities. Paragraphs 4.4.6 and 4.4.7 do give some protection for this issue.

GT14- this site has been the subject of numerous planning applications for a poultry sheds and has been successively rejected by the Planning Inspectorate after a campaign by the Parish Council, local villagers and the Local Planning Authority because of the dangerous access to the site amongst many other reasons.
The Parish Council do not support the inclusion of this site since it, in addition, fails to meet several of the policy criteria.
1. There is no GP surgery or public transport and the local school is already oversubscribed.
2. This area has been known to have excess surface water at times of heavy rainfall.
3. There is a dangerous access for larger vehicles to the site and it is not large enough for turning and servicing on site.
4. The site is in the Green Belt.
5. The Village is one of the few remaining hill top villages in Warwickshire and this visual entry to the village is one which has not been spoilt by development.
The Parish Council therefore reject this site as being a candidate.
