•Land was bequeathed to the people of Addingham and is managed by the Parish Council. Development would be against the original owners wishes and breach the covenants on the land. The Parish Council has no intention of selling the land.
•Flooding occurs in the area despite mitigation. More housing will create bigger flooding problems.
•The site is Green Belt. No details of how the development would pass the NPPF exceptional circumstances test.
•Site is close to and falls within the protection zone for the SPA/SAC. There are a number of threatened species here and the field is used for foraging.
•Bats regularly fly over this area and nest on and close to the site. The site is a major source of insects which bats feed on. Site is part of the Turner Lane corridor used by bats.
