I am writing to oppose the proposal of 25 more houses being built in Coltishall.

I understand there is already a proposal in place for 30 houses at the top of Rectory Road (COL1) and the new proposal GNLP2019 is for yet a further 25 houses.

I strongly oppose any of the above proposals.
My reasons are:-

- children will greatly be at risk from construction work and car access on their only route to school.
- the village school is already at capacity and will not be able to support additional children that the development may bring.
- the bus route on Rectory Road is already unsafe and the increase of a further potential 100+ cars will cause vast congestion and is a serious safety issue.
- currently the village is over run and comes to a standstill due to large lorries being unable to navigate the narrow streets, the construction will cause this to double!
- the construction will take away further green fields which is part of our village life.

I would like to keep Coltishall and Horstead a village and not try and create a town!
