Support is given to Policy SP7 in that it sets out a sensible approach to ensuring that development is located in sustainable places, and residents have access to a wide range of sustainable forms of transport. However, allocating large numbers of sites on the western edge of Addingham runs contrary to this policy as they are not close to services or facilities, including those in the village centre, and the nearby bus route does not offer a viable alternative to the use of the private car for journeys to work - even if it only means using the car to drive to Ilkley to catch the train.
