Draft Bradford District Local Plan - Preferred Options (Regulation 18) February 2021
Representation ID: 11796

Respondent: Darren Abbott
•Over 20 year traffic on Main Street has increased.
•Although the developments are on the fringe of the village traffic will increase as people travel to school, amenities, additional trades people. Increased traffic will bring increased noise/pollution. This affects sleep and health.
•Great concerns over the loss of green space that acts as a natural run off and soak up in times of high rainfall.
•Many properties in the village have flooded over the last decade and this is increased.
•No consideration has been given to these residents in terms of implementing additional flood defences.
•The visual loss of greenspace is a significant objection. Views from the surrounding hill show Addingham as a village. Increased residential sprawl would spoil this.
