•The numbers allocated to Addingham are out of proportion to the size of the settlement. No data has been provided to support the need for this housing.
•The proposed sites are at the top of the village and would increase traffic significantly up Moor Lane. Also, they are one mile from local amenities, making it more likely that will residents to drive to these. This is unsustainable given that Main Street is already congested. There is no train station, therefore more cars will travel into Ilkley. Given the proposal of 81 houses, this is a significant increase in traffic to a small area. Turner Lane specifically is a safe place to walk, similar to Chapel Street in the village.
•The Green Belt sites on the west of Addingham play an important role in keeping the character of a countryside setting which is part of its appeal. We chose to live here for this reason, we do not want the village to become urbanised.
•There are plenty of brownfield sites in Bradford close to employment and transport suitable for development.
