It appears that Bradford Met is intent on destroying the character of Addingham, by spoiling the green space, pastures and woodland and allowing developments which risk overwhelming the infrastructure while increasing the danger of floods and pollution.

Our village provides very limited employment opportunities which in turn means that the majority of the new residents would have to travel to work.

There is a limited transport service, limited shopping facilities which again means increased traffic.

The local health centre is already over subscribed.

The village historically has been a retirement home for people from Ilkley and other towns , we need to preserve the identity of it and not turn it into another suburb of Keighley. Affordable housing is all well and good and should be provide but it has been proved that it does not work when mixed with properties of a much higher value, for obvious reasons.
