As Addingham is classed as a Local Service Centre, the proposed 181 new houses across 8 sites is far too many. In 2019 Bradford allocated a target of 75 houses for Addingham which is much more proportionate. A Principal Town like Ilkley should be supporting more housing not Addingham - Ilkley has a train and bus station, supermarkets and a secondary school - it has the infrastructure to support more housing.

The loss of valuable Green Belt under these plans is very disappointing and should be challenged.

The total numbers of houses is excessive and will have a detrimental impact on the village and its Green Belt.
