Impact on Wildlife habitat area.
Local beauty spot, a valuable and important area within the village for local people and to maintaining wildlife.We must protect our environment from over development and potential loss of habitat.

Damage to the fabric of the village and the community. Addingham is becoming a huge sprawling housing development rather than a pleasant community where families feel the benefit of green spaces, wildlife and fresh air.

Increasing traffic flow to a congested village. Increase in noise, congestion, pollution and the risk of accidents to children/elderly.. The development is right in the heart of Addingham is a very inaccessible site where access will be very problematic.

Squeezing housing developments into tranquil green spaces that local families use for exercise/fresh air in a safe environment is not the solution to the housing shortage.
Addingham is a desirable place to live and house prices are above average. It is unlikely that low-cost affordable housing will be available for young people.
