The plan, on Green Belt land, does not show recently built housing on the south side of Moor Lane opposite AD6/H. Since this was was built the traffic level has noticeably increased in Moor Lane. 24 more houses will increase the traffic by approximately 34 cars. Children play in Moor Lane on bikes and roller blades. The hill puts people off walking into Addingham, the increase in traffic has increased the danger to children playing in Moor Lane.
Curlews, a diminishing species, and others nest in this field, undisturbed.
As the human population increases we cannot afford to lose more agricultural land.
The bus service has recently been reduced and people living here rarely used buses which did run, preferring to use cars. Only one couple in Moor Lane use cycles to travel to surrounding towns.
The houses to be built will not satisfy housing need for Addingham residents.
