Representation Summary:

Development would destroy the existing ambience of the Moor Park Estate for all existing residents.

Impact from heavy increase in level of traffic on Moor Park Drive, which is already evident for the 18 new houses currently under construction.

The 20mph speed limit is totally ignored causing an increased risk to the children, family pets and the elderly residents.

There seems to be no additional sewerage or drainage other than connecting to the existing provisions of the Moor Park estate, these provisions are inadequate, as we have seen over the past few years, with repetitive burst water mains.

These new houses will be built on Green Belt and erode the quality of the environment that made the existing residents choose to move here. The plan shows a complete lack of consideration for quality of life.

If so many new houses are necessary, then it should be that they are built where they do not overburden the existing infrastructure.

Effect that so many new families coming into Addingham
will swamp the village infrastructure of shops, schools, parking facilities.
