It’s an area of green belt forming a wildlife corridor (woodpeckers & barn owls) which fly from lower fields in the village accessing their hunting grounds above the bypass. The enormous disturbance (physical, light and noise) of resident wildlife including deer, rabbits, hedgehogs, voles, mice, shrews, bats, amphibia and a wide range of invertebrates.... if housing continues to encroach on green land rather than brownfield sites identified. A reduction/altering of any mature trees and inevitable drainage management will exacerbate this impact. The large volume of additional traffic will impact on air quality and health. The already over subscribed drainage system which frequently floods will also worsen. The significant visual impact on this dwelling with some loss of privacy. This development combined with the others does not take account of the limited resources offered by Addingham e.g. oversubscribed small primary school, doctors & recreation facilities for all ages (eg.cubs & brownies).
