I object to the proposed removal of a green belt site in this AD3/H location for various reasons. First and foremost, Addingham is just not physically designed to sustain the additional number of houses. The infrastructure of the village is already inadequate, particularly on the main road section where streams of cars come from Bolton Abbey towards the road up St. Paul's Rise. It is too narrow for the number of additional cars that would need to go through the village to enter this new housing estate. The school doesn't currently offer the capacity for more village children, already pushed over and above the limit in a couple of yearly intakes. This would also increase the volume of children hoping to go to IGS. The removal of ancient hedgerows and the threat to wildlife is a concern, not to mention the obvious point that building on greenbelt is not welcomed.
