Reference AD3/H - Main Street / Addingham. We object to building on green belt land making addingham village into one large housing estate between St. Paul’s and Coppy road estate . These fields are an important habitat for nesting barn owls which have been here for several years rearing young . They are seen daily hunting over these fields . There are also bats and hedgehogs also sadly in decline . In summer the field becomes a wild flower meadow supporting butterfly’s and bees. A stream to the village beck runs through this site . There is no infrastructure to support all these houses ,particularly sewage drains ,which the houses on St. Paul’s have had numerous problems. Access is an issue for one small road serving St. Paul’s and the proposed site making it a large cul de sac ,a danger to children going to school and the elderly .
