There are already concerns of flooding in the village and these can only be worsened by the replacement of soakaway fields at the top of the village with urbanisation and it’s resultant increased run-off.

The development is out of proportion to the size of the village. The local infrastructure is inadequate for the increased demands imposed by so many new households.

The increased urban sprawl would mean Addingham lose part of it’s ‘picturesque village charm’. The beautiful greenbelt with faraway views to be replaced by wall to wall housing estates. Another small part of England’s National Heritage would inevitably be destroyed.
