Consultation amounts to abuse of due process. Given minimum time to respond. Neighbourhood Plan disregarded.

Query how Addingham’s housing allocation has been derived. It is a small service centre and does not have infrastructure to support additional housing.

Site falls within overlapping areas of North & South Pennine Moors SPA/SAC. It attracts wildlife including bats.

Site over 1 mile from village centre – not a sustainable location as residents would drive to access amenities. Also more than 400m from a bus stop

Site acts as soakaway for run-off from the Moors. Turner Lane floods and has no sewers/drains. More housing will increase flooding in the village. Surface and foul water drainage systems cannot cope and will need upgraded.

Noise impacts from A65 – not conducive /compliant with Councils wellness policy,

Plenty of brownfield sites in Bradford that are more suitable. Sites also exist in Addingham that are more sustainable.

Green Belt exceptional circumstances test not passed.
