Whilst accepting the benefits of limited housebuilding in the Coltishall area, the site South of Jordan's Yard and, apparently, with an access onto Rectory Road in Coltishall is wholly unsuitable for a development of up to 25 houses. Access onto the B1150/ Station Road would seem improbable without very substantial changes to that section of road.
When added to existing development plans close by - COL1, COL2 and the site East of St John's Close - not only are local school and GP surgery not currently in a position to cope with such a huge increase in population, but Rectory Road is utterly unsuitable for the substantial increase in road traffic - and pedestrian footfall - that such developments would bring about. Rectory Road is already narrow and the problem exacerbated by parked cars, some of which have been damaged by passing traffic. Parents and children use the pavements to access the school and extra road traffic would increase risks to pedestrians.
