•New houses have already been built at Moor Lane/Moor Park.
•There has already been a significant increase in traffic on Moor Lane.
•Moor Lane has seen new houses built in gardens and the road is taken up with parking making it hazardous.
•There will be a huge increase in noise/congestion/pollution and risk of injury.
•Sites are not close to the village centre so car will be used continuously.
•Flood risk issues as the current drainage system cannot cope with existing housing.
•Proposed sites are greenfield/green belt.
•Sites have a wealth of wildlife present and this should be protected from development.
•There are brownfield sites in the district that could be used.
•The proposed sites are close together in an area enjoyed by walkers/locals. Building on these sites will spoil the environment/character of Addingham.
•The infrastructure cannot support more residents. Primary school and Ilkley Grammar cannot take any more pupils.
•More houses will create a town with limited facilities/employment opportunities and destroy the heart of the village.
