I would like to express my concern regarding the proposed build of five dwellings on the site of the Old First School, Chapel Street, Addingham, ref: AD5/H.

Since the closure of the school the area has re-wilded and has become home and shelter to a large variety of wildlife, I therefore feel that it would be an asset to the community if it was retained as a wildlife sanctuary.

Secondly, if left wild it would form an integral part of the green/blue infrastructure corridor which links the green spaces in our village to the open countryside.

The proposed access to the area from School Lane would be very damaging to the environment.
