I object to the area Plan for Addingham for a number of reasons. The number proposed of 181 homes is far too high and cannot be accommodated without severely compromising the council’s own policies clearly set out elsewhere in the Local Plan.

Furthermore there is very little open land located within the boundary of the settlement or the surrounding green belt that can be developed without harming the character of the village.
All of the open countryside to the south of the village and most of the village is within the 2.5 km habitat protection zone for the South Pennine Moors SPA/SCA.

Many of the proposed sites including AD1/H, AD2/H, AD4/H, AD6/H and AD7/H are located a distance from village services and perform very poorly against Policy SP7.
