Representation ID: 11319

Received: 24/03/2021

Respondent: Mr Graham Dawson

Representation Summary:

AD6/H Objection

1. lack of evidence of the need for a further large housing development in Addingham which would increase the strain on a village which already has limited employment, shopping and recreational facilities. Main Street congestion would worsen.

2. School facilities are at present fully subscribed

3. the top of Moor Lane location has already had a problem with flood water which would increase if more houses were built nearby; plus increased road safety risk at the Moor Lane/Turner Lane junction.

4. Impact on pleasant views of the village from he Dalesway long distance walking route and also from the north.

5. The proposed site would clearly not pass the “ exceptional circumstances “ test for the release of greenbelt land - other brownfield sites are surely available.

6. the short consultation time with very few people, especially the many elderly residents without internet access, aware of the plans.
