Object on the grounds that another environmentally sensitive area will be destroyed on the edge of the Broads National Park. Access on and on and off the proposed site via Church Street would be perilous at any time as traffic regularly exceeds the 30mph limit, notwithstanding the 20mph limit applied to the width restricted bend just a few yards away. Another junction onto the already busy road would be a recipe for numerous accidents and near misses. There is very limited space for construction of a safe access on and off the proposed site whereby sight splays of dimensions found at the Kings Road junction would be required.

The Greater Norwich Plan seems to be hell bent on encouraging people to commute to their workplace as there is minimal work in the village. This proposal flies in the face of any environmental planning and the minimisation of green house gases now seriously threatening the world as a whole. Coltishall is small rural village note a satellite settlement for Norwich and should stay as such.
