The four adults in my household have major concerns about the proposed plan. In particular, there is a significant impact on the green belt areas of Addingham, negatively affecting wild life habitats, areas where people walk, including walking dogs. There would also be a negative affect on the environment, with significant increase in traffic, leading to more air pollution, at a time when recent surveys, including research by Essex University, demonstrate that most areas of the UK are affected by road traffic pollutants, affecting wildlife and seriously harming human health (the only areas to avoid this are those at high altitudes). The bus service is inadequate and unreliable, thereby increasing volume of traffic. This also increases risk of accidents - there has recently been a fatal accident.
The current infrastructure would not support another 180 households, which would necessitate further building/expansion of current primary school, shops etc.
