-Main concern is the number of houses proposed.
-Character of a Dales village and should be protected within the national park boundary.
-Impact on views of sites AD3/AD4 – these are particularly visible from the top of Beamsley Beacon (within the YDNP).
-Loss Green Belt land.
-The working from home population is greater than the commuting population as the village is notoriously difficult to commute from on public transport, not having a rail connection and relatively infrequent buses.
-Village infrastructure would not cope.
-Addingham 7 becks project has highlighted that drainage is a serious issue, particularly on the new build sites at the top of Moor Lane and Southfield Rd, risking flooding.
-Addingham Primary School is beyond capacity.
-Secondary school places in the area are also already stretched to capacity.
-The roads in the village centre cannot cope with more cars.
-Doubt that affordable housing in Addingham will benefit younger local families.
