Housing Distribution - Addingham

Addingham has been allocated an unfairly high number of new houses in the plan. Per head of population, the number is the higher in the Bradford area.

Addingham is a traditional Dales village that should be preserved as such rather than overdeveloped.
Addingham is not a place where it is possible to build affordable housing for young families in Bradford.
Addingham does not have the infrastructure to support 175 new houses.

An alternative approach would be to look at current empty/dilapidated property near the centre of Bradford to redevelop for affordable housing. Invest in rewilding, creating safe green leisure spaces for the residents across the district and preserve those parts of the council area which are peaceful and unspoilt and popular for visitors from across the diverse population of the council area.
