I feel strongly that 181 additional dwellings in Addingham, in addition to recent and current builds in the West of the village is unsustainable, placing unrealistic pressures on roads, water courses and flood amelioration. New buildings on this scale will significantly increase local car journeys, at a time when Bradford Council is, white rightly, trying too reduce car-based transport. This would increase the number of houses in the village by over 11% and the vast majority of the sites are on the village periphery, where access to services is most limited

Building up to the A65 on the south side of the village, using AD3/H and AD4/H, would provide a further 87 houses without significantly extending the village boundary.
