This proposed site has restrictive access. It's central location would add to an already congested central hub of Coltishall. The permanently restricted roadways are congested further by a narrow bridge carrying additional traffic from plentiful new housing in North Walsham.
The site overlooks bure valley and should remain a haven for birds and small wildlife, and is a great pollination area for bees which is ecologically important.
The undulations of the area suggests this to be a difficult area to utilise and access. To build here would impact on drainage locally, with worrying long term effects to the surrounding river basin.
The 'look' of Coltishall village will be affected as it is viewed approaching from Norwich, which impacts on the tourism aspect of our village. This Broads village must remain appealing to visitors and a congested village crammed with new housing does not promote the tranquil, riverside village effect that has made it so popular.
Build houses elsewhere, where schools and doctors surgeries are not already full. New housing is not wanted here in Coltishall!
