•Understand that some housing is required, but no reasons for building on Green Belt and floodplains.
•What consideration has been given to the build quality of new housing to fit with existing period cottages?
•Should be stipulated that new builds must use Yorkshire stone and not the ‘mock stone’ that blights houses built nowadays –important to the integrity of the village and its history.
•This should be used an opportunity to enhance the area.
•Brownfield sites in Keighley should be used to improve this area. Addingham does not need improving. Developments would lead to deterioration of the village.
•Think about the future heritage of the village, instead of destroying it for more dwellings. The quality of areas such as Keighley could be improved.
