1. This land is in the green belt. There are many brown field sites within the Bradford district which should be developed first.

2. Loss of wildlife

3. The character of the village will be forever lost. Addingham is surrounded by green fields and has a definite country feel.

4. Lack of capacity within schools - Addingham Primary and Ilkley Grammar.

5. There is only one road (the A65) from Addingham to Ilkley. Addingham has no railway and infrequent bus services. This road is often clogged with traffic.

6. Addingham has suffered from flooding in the recent years e.g on Main Street and at the bottom of the village. If houses are built on green fields this problem will only get worse as there will be less land to soak up the rain.

7. Infrastructure - the sewers will not take any added pressure. Schools, hospitals, roads, public transport will be under pressure.
