Representation Summary:

Object on grounds of road safety, Rectory Road already very busy. We should not be building on green field sites in a conservation village, and just because proposed site is not actually in conservation area of Coltishall, does not make impact any less. The character of the village will be lost and inevitably more green field sites will be built on. Significant increase in traffic from village will only add to increase in through traffic creating longer queues at bridge and gridlock.

Object on the ground of road safety, site entrance will be on Rectory Road which already has a significant amount of traffic going to and from school, doctor's surgery, social club, village hall.
This is a green field site and totally inappropriate in a broadband conservation village, it will not only change the character of the village but open the flood gates to build on more green field sites. Just because proposed site is outside the conservation area in the village does not make the impact any less.
With all the building and expansion of towns like North Walsham north of Coltishall there is going to be a significant increase in commercial traffic and cars on the B1150 through the village this will undoubtedly mean increased queues at the bridge backing up through the village. Heavy goods vehicles need both sides of the road to negotiate the bends and bridge. Add to this an additional 130 - 250 plus cars all trying to exit the village can only result in one thing, gridlock!
