Site would have dangerous access onto a 50mph road with blind corner and no footways; towing caravans in and out would be dangerous.
Site too narrow for two gypsy sites.
History of refusal of residential development should also apply to gypsy encampment.
Few facilities in Norton Lindsey and no medical facilities, shop, post office, bus services or railway station. Primary school already overstretched.
No temporary labour employment in the village.
Dear Sirs
I object to the possible siting of a travellers site at Warwick Road, Norton Lindsey
My objection is chiefly because this site would have dangerous access on a 50 mile an hour road with a blind corner with no pavements. Towing caravans in and out would be most dangerous and I believe the site is too narrow for the proposed two gypsy sites.
Planning permission for the erection of houses on this site has been turned down on previous occasions on this basis, so there can be no reason to accept permission for a gypsy encampment.
The Council's aim is to provide good healthcare and educational facilities for travellers and gypsies, however there are few facilities in Norton Lindsey with NO medical facilities, shop, post office, bus service or railway station. The primary school, shared with the village of Wolverton is already overstretched
There are no commercial businesses employing temporary labour in the village.
