Draft Local Plan-Part 2 Site Allocations

Representation ID: 21315

Received: 16/03/2020

Respondent: Mr Adam Wolton

Representation Summary:

Rectory Road is already heavily used during peak periods due to school and surgery traffic. The High Street and Wroxham Rd have heavy traffic through much of the day, with a large increase since completion of the NDR. There is a poor bus service to Norwich/ N Walsham (roughly 1 per hour, but no evening service) which is also very expensive (£5.20/adult return , family of 4 approx £18). Building on this scale should should not be permitted in Coltishall without significant investment in public transport and local walking and cycling infrastructure to fully mitigate the traffic generated.
