As a proud 'National Broads Village', please maintain Coltishall's important tourist appeal. Coltishall has accommodated additional housing for the Broadland area, but the infra-structure is not in place for further development sites. Surrounding villages would be better suited as their growth is needed to maintain their schools and services, instead of putting further pressure on Coltishall's utility services and facilities which are currently struggling to manage.
The access road for this site is already inadequate for the traffic it carries, with a one-way bridge and narrow roadways public transport and local traffic struggles to pass safely to local amenities which including a Recreation ground, School and Doctor's surgery. It is also utilised as a 'by road' for those travelling between Wroxham and the North Walsham road, who do not wish to be delayed by travelling through the village centre. The safety of local children will be put at higher risk by introducing more housing and traffic on to this school access route. The village centre is over-run with traffic from North Walsham's addtional housing, effecting local business as there is inadequate parking. Plant crops or trees on this site not houses, the ongoing local flooding issues, and food needs would support this. Further to this the NDR has caused huge hold-ups for residents trying to travel North and South to/from Norwich, it can not cope with more housing introducing yet more traffic to this appalling highways addition to our countryside landscape.
