The site is located approximately a mile uphill from the village centre - its unlikely anyone will walk or cycle to to use the village amenities. Given existing problems already evident, the additional traffic from this and other proposed applications may impose an unsustainable load on the local road system, parking in general and the risk to public safety by the increased traffic load through the village.

The local drainage system in Addingham is already overloaded and there are frequently floods. Development at the top end of the village will exacerbate this problem.

The proposed development is on green belt land which should be preserved.

Development will detrimentally affect the overall amenity value of the village, and tourist numbers / visitors

Local school will be impacted, as well as the doctor and dentist surgeries. Ilkley grammar is already over subscribed so secondary school age children will be forced to travel to either Skipton, Guisely causing further traffic and environmental impact.
