Number of people: 2

Representation Summary:

AD3/H lies outside the Addingham settlement boundary and is an area defined as green belt its development is contrary to section 13, sub section 133 & 134 of the NPPF. Development would affect the village's historic importance and cause urban sprawl.

Its at odds with the village plan and the conclusions of Government Inspector Mr Pratt.

The field AD3/H is utilised by a number of European Protected Species which I have no doubt will be highlighted once a Habitat Phase 1 survey is carried out. The linear native oaks and important hedgerows which support an abundance of flora and fauna, will be impacted to such a level that they will lose all bio-diversity value.

Village infrastructure would unable to cope. Traffic through the village would reach unacceptable and potentially dangerous levels. Addingham Primary School, which has recently struggled with large year groups and class sizes, would be over-subscribed.
