Representation Summary:

Object on grounds of road safety, Rectory Road already very busy, loss of green spaces, building if not in the conservation area of Coltishall, right next to it still has the same impact and changes the character of the village. Significant increase in traffic from village will only add to increase in through traffic creating longer queues at bridge and gridlock.

Object on the ground of road safety, this site entrance will be on Rectory Road which already has a significant amount of traffic going to and from, school, doctors surgery, social club, village hall.
Loss of character and identity of Broadland village, Coltishall is a conservation village, just because you are proposing to build outside the conservation area in the village does not make the impact any less.
Loss of open space and wildlife habitat a rare commodity these days, these are the things that give Coltishall its current character and should be safeguarded for future generations.
With all the building and expansion of towns like North Walsham north of Coltishall there is going to be a significant increase in commercial traffic and cars on the B1150 through the village this will undoubtedly mean increased queues at the bridge backing up through the village, heavy goods vehicles need both sides of the road to negotiate the bends and bridge. Add to this an additional 120 - 250 plus cars all trying to exit the village can only result in one thing, gridlock!
