Housing Distribution - Addingham
Addingham can not sustain any more houses. Bradford Council's own policy confirms major issues with sustainability in the village. Addingham has not got the infrastructure to accommodate more housing. We have been classed as a service centre therefore a lower number of housing developments due to sustainability (Housing Policy - Planning for homes 3.8 - SP8 , Housing Growth 3.8.40)
Why are we even considering building on greenbelt areas ? These should be protected.
We can not understand why Addingham's housing numbers have increased by 133 % when other neighbouring towns have had a reduction of 40 %.
We also object to running a consultation in a pandemic with everything based online. On such a sensitive issue which will effect everyone in Addingham for years why have Bradford Council not sent a leaflet to every household. Anyone without a computer or access to online facilities have been discriminated against.
