Housing Distribution - Addingham

No justification for the Addingham target to increase from 75 in the 2019 partial review to 200 now. What has changed in this time?

Local service centres, as defined in the Plan, are expected to take “a reduced scale of growth compared to urban areas'

The village does not have the infrastructure to cope with this housing and the plan is silent on solutions for additional infrastructure and how it will be paid for.

Ilkley grammar school will have a shortfall from 2022 to 2027 varying between 50 and 86 pupils per year.

Transport links are problematic. Anyone living in Addingham will more than likely have to drive to get to work or to school.

The additional housing should be allocated to Ilkley which as a principle town and has the infrastructure and the transport links to cope with the increased numbers. There is no logical reason for Ilkley's reduced target.
