New, Revised and Small Sites

Representation ID: 18279

Respondent: Mrs Barbara Hall

Representation Summary:

Regarding additional proposed sites in Coltishall. The village is a conservation area and important tourist destination. Too much development would ruin the attractiveness of this pretty area and adversely affect tourism. The main road through the village is already very busy and it would not be safe to add to the already high number of vehicles using the road. The proposed site off Church Road would have difficult access onto Church Road and visibility would be very limited making it potentially dangerous. The 20mph speed limit through Coltishall is often ignored and crossing the road is difficult, especially at rush hour periods. The proposed site off Rectory Road, adding onto the existing site which already has planning permission for 30 houses would create massive overdevelopment in that area. Rectory Road is a busy narrow road used by families going to the primary school, doctors surgery, playground and village halls. Additional traffic on the road would be dangerous. Infrastructure in Coltishall is not adequate for additional development. The school is already oversubscribed and doctors surgery appointments are difficult to access.
