P04 - Village Classification. Norton Lindsey is characterised by its history of natural, organic development and the majority of logical spaces for building have been largely filled in. Although some selective development may still be possible on isolated sites, the addition of between 30 - 80 dwellings, even over 17 years is a disproportionate increase in a community of only about 140 homes. The village offers only the most basic of amenities, with no shop, regular public transport service (bus or train), and no local business centre.

it cannot support what might amount to a 50% increase in size whilst meeting the sustainability objectives of the plan which are to reduce motorised travel. This is further brought into question as the local road system has some obvious safety deficiences which are not solved just by reducing traffic speed.
