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.

P01 - Preferred Level of Growth
OBJECT
It is agreed that some growth will be required during the 2014-2029 period to sustain an
economic and vibrant economy. An increase in homes of appropriate tenures will be
required but the level of growth based on the economic predictions certainly over the
next five years seems excessive especially when viewed against the economic
backdrop. This comment is supported by Office of National Statistics data which reveals
that the rate of increase of Gross Domestic Product has been falling since mid 2010 and
has yet to show signs of recovery. On this basis growth has been downgraded to 0.7%
from 0.8%. Predictions from the respected International Monetary Fund have revised
expectations of growth of 0.8% down to 0.2% with a very modest almost "flat
lining"growth of 0.6% in 2013. Accordingly the base figures being utilised are over
stated.
We believe that the demand for further housing in Norton Lindsey is limited and can be
adequately met by windfall sites and as has been historically the case utilising previously
used land and buildings.
Changes to Preferred Option 1 -adopt a more conservative growth pattern to
reflect market conditions which are likely to prevail over the first half of the Plan
period.

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.

It is agreed that some growth will be required during the 2014-2029 period to sustain an
economic and vibrant economy. An increase in homes of appropriate tenures will be
required but the level of growth based on the economic predictions certainly over the
next five years seems excessive especially when viewed against the economic
backdrop. This comment is supported by Office of National Statistics data which reveals
that the rate of increase of Gross Domestic Product has been falling since mid 2010 and
has yet to show signs of recovery. On this basis growth has been downgraded to 0.7%
from 0.8%. Predictions from the respected International Monetary Fund have revised
expectations of growth of 0.8% down to 0.2% with a very modest almost "flat
lining"growth of 0.6% in 2013. Accordingly the base figures being utilised are over
stated.
We believe that the demand for further housing in Norton Lindsey is limited and can be
adequately met by windfall sites and as has been historically the case utilising previously
used land and buildings.

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.

It is agreed that some growth will be required during the 2014-2029 period to sustain an
economic and vibrant economy. An increase in homes of appropriate tenures will be
required but the level of growth based on the economic predictions certainly over the
next five years seems excessive especially when viewed against the economic
backdrop. This comment is supported by Office of National Statistics data which reveals
that the rate of increase of Gross Domestic Product has been falling since mid 2010 and
has yet to show signs of recovery. On this basis growth has been downgraded to 0.7%
from 0.8%. Predictions from the respected International Monetary Fund have revised
expectations of growth of 0.8% down to 0.2% with a very modest almost "flat
lining"growth of 0.6% in 2013. Accordingly the base figures being utilised are over
stated.

from 0.8%. Predictions from the respected International Monetary Fund have revised
expectations of growth of 0.8% down to 0.2% with a very modest almost "flat
lining"growth of 0.6% in 2013. Accordingly the base figures being utilised are over
stated.
We believe that the demand for further housing in Norton Lindsey is limited and can be
adequately met by windfall sites and as has been historically the case utilising previously
used land and buildings.

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.

required but the level of growth based on the economic predictions certainly over the
next five years seems excessive especially when viewed against the economic

required but the level of growth based on the economic predictions certainly over the
next five years seems excessive especially when viewed against the economic
backdrop. This comment is supported by Office of National Statistics data which reveals
that the rate of increase of Gross Domestic Product has been falling since mid 2010 and
has yet to show signs of recovery. On this basis growth has been downgraded to 0.7%
from 0.8%. Predictions from the respected International Monetary Fund have revised
expectations of growth of 0.8% down to 0.2% with a very modest almost "flat
lining"growth of 0.6% in 2013. Accordingly the base figures being utilised are over
stated.
We believe that the demand for further housing in Norton Lindsey is limited and can be
adequately met by windfall sites and as has been historically the case utilising previously
used land and buildings.
Changes to Preferred Option 1 -adopt a more conservative growth pattern to
reflect market conditions which are likely to prevail over the first half of the Plan
period.

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.
