Building on Green Belt destroys wildlife habitats, ancient hedgerows and open spaces to breath. It’s been obvious and well documented through the pandemic how important these spaces are to our mental health/well being in general. Building on Green belt eventually will sprawl all villages together or into towns - what will they name the new town of Silsden/Addingham? Surely there are more brown sites that could be used and properties, already near or in towns and cities, that could be restored or redeveloped that would then rejuvenate towns and cities that already have an infrastructure that can support more housing - Addingham does not have the infrastructure to support all the proposed housing. Moor Lane is already extremely traffic heavy with cars travelling far above the speed limit, a speed traffic survey is certainly needed now - it’s only a matter of time before a child is injured or dies.
