The Plan does not explain why Addingham's housing allocation has been increased from 75 to 175. There is no justification for that arbitrary increase. I object to green belt development in general in the absence of extremely compelling reasons. No such reasons exist in this instance.
Such a large increase in housing would adversely affect Addingham's character as a rural village with an 18th century core.
Schools and other local services are insufficient to support such a large increase in population. Addingham has no railway station and no direct bus services to Leeds or Bradford, so most of the additional residents would use cars, adding to traffic density, pollution and CO2 emissions.
