1.The strategy seems to favour property developers not the local community.
2The planned number of houses is well in excess of the "modest level of housing development , mainly to satisfy local need" as BMDC states is what is required for our sized community/Local Service Centre.There is no justifcation as to why there are now 181 proposed dwellings from the 75 originally proposed. Why does Addingham need so many?
3.The emphasis appears to be concentrating on green field green belt sites and hardly any attention has been given to examining brown field options.
4. The negative impact on the local natural habitat, ecology and environment that local residents and visitors enjoy has been greatly understated.
5. The unquantifiable but real village community spirit that exists in Addingham would be irreparably damaged.
6. There is no reference to any environmental standards required of new properties .
