- site is richest site for wildlife in Addingham village - lots of rewilding and is especially good for birds and butterflies
- building would destroy habitat and disturb wildlife on old school footprint, green space and beck
- residents enjoy tranquility of Back Beck Green Corridor - safe route to walk to primary school and around the village
- proposed access via School Lane strongly opposed by local residents and those who have tendered to the garden plots for wildlife and who have hens
- proposed alternative access from Chapel Street opposed, already a narrow street and busy with children and parents walking to/from school
THE OLD FIRST SCHOOL SITE SHOULD BE KEPT FOR NATURE AND BECOME A VILLAGE NATURE RESERVE
