Most of the sites are proposed on Greenbelt.
See refusal notice application number 17/05036/MAO which highlights the arguments and is even more relevant now jus three years on.
181 new houses is too much for this small village that already has traffic,flooding , schooling amongst others.
Field between the cricket club and the Memorial hall have been rejected when they are closer to all amenities.
Lack of school places will force more traffic to commute outside the village

All of the greenbelt sites proposed are within the 2.5 km habitat protection zone for the South Pennine Moors SPA/SCA and within the 2.5 km zone of the North Pennine Moors SPA/SCA.
Impact curlews
There is little employment in Addingham and thus car travel to Ilkley and beyond will increase congestion on already busy local streets.
The village is situated adjacent to the very high landscape value regions of the Yorkshire Dales National Park (to the west) and Nidderdale Area of Outstanding National Beauty (to the north).
