Representation ID: 56054

Received: 25/07/2013

Respondent: Mr Mark Robins

Representation Summary:

Norton Lindsey has no medical facilities, retail shop, post office, daily bus service, railway station, or businesses employing temporary labour. Many roads lack footways. The primary school is over stretched and shared with Wolverton.
The site is small and on a 50mph road with a blind corner and no footways; difficult for vehicles towing caravans to move in and out safely.
Is an agricultural site not available for housing and therefore should not be for caravans or mobile homes.

Sirs
I object to the possible placing of a travellers site on the outskirts of Norton Lindsey

My comments are as follows:

The village of Norton Lindsey has :

No medical facilities
No retail shop
No Post Office
Lacks footpaths on many of the roads
No daily bus service
No railway station
An over-stretched primary school it shares with Wolverton
No commercial businesses employing temporary labour.

The site is small and is on a 50 mile an hour road with a blind corner and no pavements, so very difficult for vehicles towing caravans to move in and out safely

The site is an agricultural site not for dwelling on, and so it is not available for building houses on so must the same rule also apply to caravans and mobile homes
