Building on Greenbelt should not be allowed destroying views and the openness of the village.
The opportunity for sprawl will be uncontrollable along the north boundary and the outstanding views over the open fields towards Beamsley will be lost forever.
AD6/H is too far from the village amenities to expect families to walk into the village and back up the steep hill.
Car journeys will increase dramatically on already busy village streets.
AD6/H was refused planning a few of years ago and nothing has changed so the reasons put forward then are still valid.
The total number of new dwellings proposed for Addingham is disproportionate to the size of the village.
There is no supporting infrastructure for the village now. No train station, no secondary school, poor bus links, most commuting is by car already. 300 extra cars in the village is contrary to pollution targets.
If there is no option to using greenbelt land there are better sites closer to the village.
