Respondent: Addingham Civic Society

This proposed increase in housing target for Addingham will result in the partial development of the “Sailor Fields” between the village and the A65 by-pass. It will destroy the linear nature of the village and the setting of its 129 listed buildings and monuments. It will also negatively impact the distinctive Dales landscape and bring new development into the South Pennine SAC/SPA Protection Zone.

The Green Belt was established to protect the “Sailor Fields” and this important function was confirmed by the Planning Inspectorate and BMDC itself. No “exceptional circumstances” have been put forward for these Green Belt changes.

These proposals are contrary to Addingham’s Neighbourhood Plan
