Draft Bradford District Local Plan - Preferred Options (Regulation 18) February 2021

Representation ID: 20438

Received: 23/03/2021

Respondent: Lindsay Shaw

Representation Summary:

New residents of houses being proposed will have to a car to use the Village amenities because it is at least a mile from centre. This will cause increase in pollution, noise and traffic incidents.

There is only one school in Addingham which is already oversubscribed as is Ilkley Grammar School.

Addingham already suffers flooding which would be exacerbated by more houses being built, due to the strain on the already struggling drainage system;

Addingham parks are not big enough to accommodate the current residents, which, has lead to an increase in antisocial behaviour.

AD7/H

It will create a spralling sea of houses to a peaceful idyllic location where wildlife thrive. I walk along here everyday, along with many of my neighbours.

The roads are not wide enough to manage 50 extra cars from these houses driving through the village where cars are parked all along main street. The noise and pollution will increase and safety will decrease.
