We support a limited number of houses to be built in Norton Lindsey over the next 15 years.
Priority should be starter homes or retirement homes.
Location must not be imposed on community. Instead village committee should be formed to discuss land options.

Norton Lindsey school has no room for expansion.
Therefore they could not accommodate anymore pupils from new development.
There is virtually no public transport or medical facilities within village.

Norton Lindsey does not have a facility of shops, schools, leisure facilities or workplaces.
An increase in village size would lead to increased car use and that would have implications as well.

There are no facilties to support the intended location of new houses at this location, there are poor and narrow roads in the locality and a lack of a school, shop, medical facility as well as no bus service. The objector strongly objects to the intended housing as new housing (beyond ribbon type development) would change the character of the village and would compromise the integrity of the Green Belt boundary which should be defended/ remain as currently defined.

Norton Lidsey's setting makes it senistive to development. Proposals should therefore not increase the number of houses by more than 50%.
The road network is poor around the village as are sustainable transport options such as cycling, buses etc.

Other infratsructure such as schools, surgeries and shops are also absent in the village.

The green belt has resulted in proportionate development in the past. Why change?

Supports the designation of Norton Lindsey as a Category 2 Village. The village should not be permitted to stagnate and limited growth should be allowed.
Two small sites in Norton Lindsey are promoted for development - SHLAA sites R25 and R7 off Wards Hill.

Infrastructure in the village is unable to cope with the groth that has taken place over the last 30 years. There is no shop and very limited bus service. The village Hall is too small to cope with the population. In this context the proposal for 30-80 houses is unsustainable and will undermine the character of the village. as well as the community spirit.

Growth should be limited to to 15-20 houses during the plan period.

Could meet total on single site. Promoting land at Ward's Hill. Well related to village but outside Conservation Area boundary. Appropriately designed development would help maintain setting of conservation area.
Access to site from Warwick Road or New Road with easy access to A4139 without need to travel through village.
Land currently used as paddock with no viable agricultural use so would not result in loss of productive farm land.
Visability splayso fo 70m and 90m could be achieved, sufficeint where speed limits are 30 and 40mph. Speed limit could be reduced on Warwick Road appropriately.
Landowners willing to work with those with adjoining land to prepare well laid out scheme. Could also provide site with clearly defined and defensible boundaries with strong tree/hedge line to mitigate visual impact.

Site already rejected as unsuitable on two occasions.
Sloping site unsuitable for disabled and elderly.
Access issues in light of narrow access roads.
New housing attracts families with children. Children will be forced to play on streets as lack of amenities.
Lack of public amenity space. No village shop, post office, bank, GP and unlikely facilities would be attracted by proposals.
Cost associated with living in village considerable in terms of travel, rates and no access to natural gas supplies.
No public transport.
Increase in traffic as result of additional development. Lack of pavements. Narrow roads. Accident black spots.
Ancient trees offer habitats to variety of wildlife. Would require destruction of many old trees.
Greater part of fields in Conservation Area.
Substantial number of houses in small village will impact seriously on aesthetics.
Creation of housing ghetto.

Strong support for 30-80 houses at Norton Lindsey.
Proposing two plots of land for new housing in cooperation with another landowner for comprehensive development.
This would:
Provide deliverable site where two willing landowners have engaged professional team.
Currently in green belt but NPPF provides process for review.
Incorporating within settlement boundary provides a defensible, robust, permanent green belt boundary.
Close to amenities, well screened and does not affect hill top setting, capable of providing needed housing, has features readily recognisable and clearly defined.
No known highway, ecological, arboricultural services and utilities, archaeological, landscape inpediments.
Would provide well laid out scheme rspecting grain of Norton Lindsey.
Site can provide affordable housing.
Central and sustainable location and well related to built up part of village and amenities.
Regular bus services to Solihull and Stratford.
Located outside Conservation Area.
Land used for paddock so no viable agricultural use.
Joining of land means access on to more suitable road can be achieved.

Respondent: Mrs Jenny Mann

Norton Lindsey has no medical centre, shops or leisure facilities and, therefore, is contrary to the principle that housing developments must be located close to existing facilities.

There are no bus services to the nearest town, Warwick, and very limited buses to Solihull and Stratford.

Norton Lindsey does not have a railway station.

Nearest village pre-school is Stepping Stones in Claverdon and this is full for the next two academic years, so no pre-school places available.

There are no commercial enterprises in Norton Lindsey, therefore, no workplaces.

The roads leading into and out of the village are very narrow country lanes.

Norton Lindsey has no facilities, e.g. medical centre, retail shops and railway station. There are very limited bus services to Stratford-upon-Avon and Solihull and no services to Warwick. The roads could not cope with an increase in traffic.

Norton Lindsey is a beautiful village, enjoying an historic site.

There are no commercial enterprises in the Parish, other than farming and public houses, for employment.

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.

The proposed level of development is entirely inappropriate and of such a scale (25% increase at 30 homes and 65% increase at 80 homes) that it would cause irreparable harm to the village. It is also disproportionate to the scale and massing of the village and the approach needs to be reconsidered.

Norton Lindsey is uniquely located on the border with SDC and WDC - there are concerns that should SDC decide in their local plan to build up to the Norton Lindsey boundary and WDC wishes to place up to 80 new properties within Norton Lindsey, the cumulative effect would completely decimate the village.

There is a need for an inspector to consider the plans for WDC and SDC together and to take Norton Lindsey out of the immediate process to allow thw above to happen.

There is a statutory requirement for evidence of local housing need to be identified prior to any development being undertaken - the last local housing need survey indicated a need for 3 dwellings in Norton Lindsey - the quota of between 30-80 dwellings would appear to be far and above the local housing need. Norton Lindsey has also benefited from a number of affordable homes schemes over the years and is now well served by affordable housing of various tenures and sizes.

Norton Lindsey does not fulfil the transport criteria to mimimise the need to travel or access to sustainable forms of transport:
- There is no regular public transport
- Main Street is very narrow with many houses abutting the road and a number having accommodation at lower than street level / additional traffic may damage buildings
- The road structures along and leading from the village have bad bends, very narrow sections and no passing places - serious accidents have taken place.
- Norton Lindsey is too remote for walking to destinations such as Warwick and Leamington Spa and due to the road infrastructure cycling is dangerous.
- Parking is a problem with new residential schemes providing insufficient on-site parking causing congestion and safety hazards (30 dwellings could provide an additional 60 vehicles and 80 a minimum of 120 vehicles).

There is no employment in Norton Lindsey to support development. Further the addition of housing will not create any employment. Accordingly development on the scale envisaged runs counter to many of the aspirations as set out in both the Preferred Options document but also the NPPF.

The historic built environment restricts options to improve roads, which would also fundamentally ruin the context and integrity of the buildings.

Development may impact on the conservation areas and the overall historic environment. It is essential need to protect Norton Lindsey' unique heritage for current and future generations and avoid impacting on views and features

Due to environmental considerations and build standards to minimise carbon emissions together with affordable housing contributions, this may mean that such locations as Norton Lindsey are economically unviable to be brought forward for development. Also reference to earlier comments about promoting unsustainable transport.

Agree with the principle of inclusive, safe and healthy communities, but Norton Lindsey is an unsuitable site as it is not within a wide range of facilities.

Development may impact on the conservation areas and the overall historic environment. It is essential need to protect Norton Lindsey' unique heritage for current and future generations and avoid impacting on views and features

Due to environmental considerations and build standards to minimise carbon emissions together with affordable housing contributions, this may mean that such locations as Norton Lindsey are economically unviable to be brought forward for development. Also reference to earlier comments about promoting unsustainable transport.

Agree with the principle of inclusive, safe and healthy communities, but Norton Lindsey is an unsuitable site as it is not within a wide range of facilities.

The proposed level of development is entirely inappropriate and of such a scale (25% increase at 30 homes and 65% increase at 80 homes) that it would cause irreparable harm to the village. It is also disproportionate to the scale and massing of the village and the approach needs to be reconsidered.

Norton Lindsey is uniquely located on the border with SDC and WDC - there are concerns that should SDC decide in their local plan to build up to the Norton Lindsey boundary and WDC wishes to place up to 80 new properties within Norton Lindsey, the cumulative effect would completely decimate the village.

There is a need for an inspector to consider the plans for WDC and SDC together and to take Norton Lindsey out of the immediate process to allow thw above to happen.

There is a statutory requirement for evidence of local housing need to be identified prior to any development being undertaken - the last local housing need survey indicated a need for 3 dwellings in Norton Lindsey - the quota of between 30-80 dwellings would appear to be far and above the local housing need. Norton Lindsey has also benefited from a number of affordable homes schemes over the years and is now well served by affordable housing of various tenures and sizes.

Norton Lindsey does not fulfil the transport criteria to mimimise the need to travel or access to sustainable forms of transport:
- There is no regular public transport
- Main Street is very narrow with many houses abutting the road and a number having accommodation at lower than street level / additional traffic may damage buildings
- The road structures along and leading from the village have bad bends, very narrow sections and no passing places - serious accidents have taken place.
- Norton Lindsey is too remote for walking to destinations such as Warwick and Leamington Spa and due to the road infrastructure cycling is dangerous.
- Parking is a problem with new residential schemes providing insufficient on-site parking causing congestion and safety hazards (30 dwellings could provide an additional 60 vehicles and 80 a minimum of 120 vehicles).
