POLICY GNLP2019: Land at Rectory Road and south of the Bure Valley Railway, Coltishall

6.31 This site at Rectory Road, south of the Bure Valley Railway is allocated for residential development. Vehicular access will need to be taken through the adjacent COL1 allocation and a Transport Assessment will be needed. The site should be masterplanned with COL1 to bring forward a cohesive development. The site is adjacent to the Bure Valley Railway and the Bure Valley path, which are important tourism and GI assets that should be protected.

Policy GNLP2019

Land at Rectory Road and south of the Bure Valley Railway, Coltishall (approx. 1.44 ha) is allocated for residential development. The site is likely to accommodate approximately 20 homes.

More homes may be accommodated, subject to an acceptable design and layout, as well as infrastructure constraints.

The development will be expected to address the following specific matters:

1. 1. Site should be masterplanned with existing COL1 allocation to bring forward a cohesive development.
2. 2. Vehicular access will be from Rectory Road via the existing COL1 allocation, with off-site highway improvements to connect to the existing footpath on Rectory Road near the junction with Westbourne Road.
3. 3. Due to highway constraints in the vicinity of Rectory Road, submission of a transport assessment to assess the traffic implications of the proposed development on the surrounding road network demonstrating that the proposed scale of development can be accommodated will be required.
4. 4. Adequate landscaping and green infrastructure will be needed to protect the rural setting of the village, especially to the eastern boundary and to mitigate the potential for noise pollution and vibrations resulting from proximity of the Bure Valley Railway to the north.

Reasons

Combine sites into a single allocation to ensure plan is effective and justified.

POLICY COL1: Land at Rectory Road, Coltishall

6.32 This site was allocated in the 2016 Broadland Local Plan but was not yet developed at the base date of this plan. The principle of development on the site has already been accepted and it is expected that development will take place within the time-period of this local plan up to 2038. The site is considered in the calculation of the housing requirement, providing at least 30 homes, but more may be accommodated, subject to an acceptable design and layout being achieved. Outline planning permission (20170075) was granted in November 2017 but there has been no reserved matters application.

6.33 The site should be masterplanned with GNLP2019 to bring forward a cohesive development. The site is adjacent to the Bure Valley Railway and the Bure Valley path, which are important tourism and GI assets that should be protected.

Policy COL1

Land at Rectory Road, Coltishall (approx. 1.0ha) is allocated for residential development. This will accommodate approximately 30 homes.

The development will be expected to address the following specific matters:

1. 1. Site should be masterplanned with GNLP2019 allocation to bring forward cohesive development.
2. 2.Access (vehicular and pedestrian) to be from Rectory Road, with possible additional pedestrian accesses to the school via the playing field and to the Bure Valley Walk.
3. 3. Off-site improvements to the highway network may be required including contributions to footway/cycle links, speed restriction on Rectory Road, and public transport services.
4. 4. Pollution control measures may be required in order to mitigate harm to the water environment as the site is in the proximity of a Major Aquifer of high vulnerability.
5. 5. Significant information will be required at a planning stage to mitigate heavy flood constraints. Access and egress to the site during a flood event may need to be considered.
6. 6. Provision for informal and formal recreational open space
7. 7. Landscaping to mitigate the potential for noise pollution and vibrations resulting from proximity of the site to the Bure Valley Railway

Reasons

Combine sites into a single allocation to ensure plan is effective and justified.
