This is an area of green belt. It forms a wildlife corridor (e.g. barn owls) flying from lower down the village to access hunting grounds above the bypass. There will be considerable disturbance (physical, light and noise) of resident wild life e.g. deer, rabbits, hedgehogs, voles, mice, shrews, bats, amphibia and a wide range of invertebrates.... as housing encroaches on green land rather than brown field sites. Any reduction or manicuring of mature trees and inevitable drainage management will exacerbate this impact. There are significant infrastructure-related issues such as increased traffic generation up Old Station Way (a difficult road) and an already stretched drainage system that floods in times of heavy rain. There will be a significant visual impact on this dwelling and some loss of privacy. This development combined with the others do not take account of the limited resources offered by Addingham e.g. very small primary school.
