Large majority of housing allocations in Addingham is proposed for sites within the designated Green Belt – a clear breach of, and in consistent with, policy SP4 and the NPPF.

Addingham has been able to deliver housing requirement by developing brownfield and infill sites. Draft Plan suggests that housing growth should be delivered though a mix of committed sites as well as sites to be allocated. It is only able identify two small sites which have been previously developed.

Plan has not identified a large number of obvious potential infill, brownfield and windfall sites. It seems to suggest requirements for affordable and older peoples housing –release of larger greenfield sites will favour larger, unaffordable, family sized units. Thus, major proportion of the housing allocation is proposed for sites that could only be made available as a result of Green Belt release.

The proposed housing site allocations on Green Belt is strongly objected to. Residents wishes have been ignored.
