Full text:

There is OPP for 30 new dwellings in the Service Village of Coltishall (COL 1) which already exceeds the 10 - 20 detailed in the Joint Core Strategy to 2026. The village highway infrastructure is presently inadequate for existing traffic which has increased by 30% since the NDR opened. Noise and pollution on small residential roads including Church Street has reached intolerable levels. There is no spare parking capacity for the inevitable overflow from any development. To suggest that this development could be accessed via Church Street is profoundly unsafe. The village is partially situated in a conservation area adjacent to the Broads which provides tourist income, so any development will not enhance the appeal of the environment to visitors and would have a negative economic effect on businesses that rely on tourism. Finally present Service infrastructure i.e. primary school and surgery would also be unable to realistically cope with any increase in load
