This development is on the far western edge of Addingham village and will generate additional traffic on Turner Lane, Moor Lane and Moor Park Drive. This will include not only owners cars but also internet shopping deliveries, etc which have increased alarmingly over the last year.
Occupiers will not walk (or cycle) to and from village amenties due to this site being at the top of the hill.
Apart from the adverse environmental impact, consideration must be given to health and safety issues of increased traffic in a residential area with many elderley frail residents and also families with young vulnerable children.
As a property owner close to this develpment I am aware of adverse ground conditions on this site in relation to poor drainage and natural springs which will create problems for adjoining areas.
This development is on valuable green belt land within the bypass.
Insufficient infrastructure in Addingham.
