Addingham Neighbourhood Plan

Addingham has an adopted neighbourhood plan, produced by the Parish Council and which clearly reflects the views of the local electorate. During its preparation residents favoured overwhelmingly favoured the use of brownfield sites and small infill sites (but only if the land is not of high environmental value), as opposed to the use of larger sites and especially those involving the unwarranted release of land in the Green Belt.

Addingham is heavily constrained by Green Belt with limited deliverable brownfield and non-Green Belt growth options available or identified. Strongly support the draft plan’s Policy SP4, which priorities the use of previously developed sites and sustainable green field opportunities ahead of Green Belt sites. However, this key policy has been completely ignored in the selection of actual housing sites.
