Understand that there is possibility of another 175 houses to be built in Addingham.

One of the proposed sites was donated for educational purposes and has not been used as intended. Could have provided opportunities to support children’s education.

Site is named as Green Belt. It should be protected from development as it would a detrimental effect and spoil the village's character.

Education capacity is a concern for many people. The primary school has no capacity of expansion to cope with larger class sizes. Pupil numbers has also affected Ilkley Grammar School meaning that not all can attend it with those that can’t needing to go to Keighley instead.

In relation to traffic, the village is lucky to have a bypass and is mostly very quiet. The amount of traffic that will pass along the roads if these houses were to be built, cannot be ignored. Could be as much as 350 extra cars. That is an increase in risk to safety and comes with a pollution risk.
