Given that this is designated a 'brownfield' site, it has become the 'richest site for wildlife in the village' and is known to be rich in butterflies and birds, thus continuing the preservation work done by staff and children when it was a school site.
This area around back beck and school lane is a safe place for children and adults and any increase in houses and consequent traffic and especially a new access route to them would devastate the wild life in the area. The safety and tranquillity for the children walking to and from school, it being a space for them to learn about nature so to protect it in the present and future, and the residents of Addingham for whom this space is vital will all be affected negatively by any development in this space. I'm appalled by the very suggestion of development here.
