Draft Local Plan-Part 2 Site Allocations

Representation ID: 20403

Received: 03/03/2020

Respondent: Aaron Parker

Representation Summary:

There are numerous issues with the location let alone the fact that it is a green field site and as such a valuable resource that we can hardly afford to lose from the food cycle. The particular area is already very congested and due to the location of the school is particularly dangerous to young children.
The local doctors are already taking weeks to see routine appointments and a further 50 plus houses is only going to make this issue worse.
The opening of the NDR has already caused considerable traffic ques on the B1150 and further housing that will add to the traffic volume using the B1150 along with the proposed developments in North Walsham will undoubtedly add to the traffic congestion already suffered in Coltishall.
There are numerous brown field sites in the region that are far more suitable and that would have a smaller impact on residents and the environment. Why are these constantly being over looked?

I am writing to complain about the proposed development of the green field site at the top of Rectory Road in Coltishall.
