X18-01: Rectory Road, Coltishall
Summary of consultation responses and comments – X18-01
X18-01 is 2.6 ha of greenfield land on Rectory Road, Coltishall. Coltishall
Parish Council object to the site on the grounds that there are already 3 sites
under consideration for development, the road has a one-way traffic system
with the doctors surgery and primary school nearby, and access to the site is
poor. Concern has been expressed by residents regarding the loss of
greenfield land over brownfield alternatives. Objectors also commented that
the access to this site is located on a road which has a level crossing for the
Bure Valley Railway line on Rectory Road. Additionally, some noted that the
housing proposed not only exceed the Joint Core Strategy figures, but the site
itself is further away from the services and facilities than the other suggested
sites.
The
Highway Authority commented that a suitable access on to Rectory
Road is achievable through local improvements to Rectory Road to introduce
one-way working, and further cycle and pedestrian links.
The
Environment Agency has requested a flood risk assessment is made to
determine the extent of surface water flooding.
Anglian Water also has suggested that a pre-development assessment will
be required to ascertain the specific capacity of the sewerage network. The
Conservation Area and Bure Valley Walk will need to be considered and
mitigated as a result of any direct impact from development of the site.
