Regarding site identified at the rear of St Johns Close Coltishall:
Coltishall is a Broadland village that is important for the tourist area of the Norfolk Broads. The character of the village would be spoilt by a further housing development and this is likely to deter the important tourist trade. Access to the site is through an already congested road used by parents with young children and people with mobility problems using the school and doctors surgery. Rectory Road is a busy, often congested road with a village hall, preschool and play area. There is already concern about the high level of traffic through Coltishall which has led to several near misses. Traffic feeds down from North Walsham which has been expanded in recent times. The doctors surgery already covers Spixworth which has also expanded and it is now very difficult to get an appointment within a reasonable time. The primary school in St Johns Close is also over-subscribed. Please consider the detrimental impact that further housing develpment would have on this special Broadland village which contains conservation area and areas of special importance.
