Impact on Character of Village and the Conservation Area - AD3/H and AD4/H are portions of a much larger area including “Village Green Space” and known collectively as the “Sailor Fields” - see Addingham Village Design Statement June 2001 and the 2007 Conservation Area Appraisal and the Neighbourhood Plan.

Impact on Landscape and Landscape Setting of the Village – the villages landscape accord closely with that of the adjoining Yorkshire Dales.

Impact on Biodiversity - Virtually the entire village is within 2.5 km habitat protection zones for the South and North Pennine Moors SPA’s/SAC’s. The “Sailor Fields” area (including AD3/H andAD4/H) has heritage, archaeological and ecological importance with respect especially to its medieval history, the occurrence of ancient species-rich hedgerows, dry stone walls and its barn owl population. It is used as foraging ground for IUCN Red List threatened species - lapwing together with 33 other bird species.
