Coltishall, Norwich, NR12 7HU

Coltishall is a locality within the NR 12 postal district of Norwich, Norfolk. It lies about 10 miles north‑north‑east of Norwich. The area is best known for the former Royal Air Force Coltishall, a military airfield that operated from 1939 until its closure in 2006. The site has since been identified as a potential eco‑town development, with discussions in local media such as Business Weekly in August 2008. The former airfield’s history and the plans for sustainable redevelopment give the area a distinct character, combining rural surroundings with future growth prospects. Residents and prospective buyers can expect a setting that has historically been linked to aviation and defence, while the ongoing redevelopment proposals suggest a move toward environmentally focused community planning. The locality’s proximity to Norwich offers access to city amenities, yet it retains a quieter, more rural atmosphere.
