Addingham, as a village, is already losing its identity by over-development of brown and green spaces.
The traffic has increased dramatically over recent years causing congestion and ultimately impatience on the busier roads. The Main Street is constantly being blocked by inconsiderate parking and the build-up of passing traffic.
It is evident that the small new development at the top of Moor Lane has brought a significant rise in the number of cars speeding up and down the estate, making it dangerous for the predominantly older residents, whether walking or driving to and from their homes.
No one takes any notice of the 20mph speed limits either on the estates or in the Main St and it is becoming unbearable.
The proposed developments are mainly a large distance from the village's amenities which means that every journey will involve a vehicle.
Addingham is a village, not a town.
