Object to plan for 81 new houses at “top” of Addingham off Moor Lane & Moor Park Drive, for 4 reasons:

Existing access comes from Silsden Road. If this were to continue, it would lead to more queuing and increase safety concerns at a busy junction. Sites are a mile from the village centre with limited public transport, meaning most journeys will be by car;

Recreation ground on Silsden Road has significant drainage issues, which have worsened since recent development. Current drainage system cannot cope. Further developments will add to risk of flooding.

Recent new housing seems to be overcrowded with little room for outdoor space, placing extra pressure on the recreation ground/local amenities. 81 more households would seem to require significant due diligence to ensure adequate recreational amenities as well as educational facilities.

Increase in dwelling numbers seems very significant on an already well-developed estate, with the significant loss of Green Belt.
