The numbers of proposed housing allocated to the village of Addingham is too high in proportion to the current housing numbers. More of the proposed housing should be in larger towns that have better infrastructure and more employment opportunities.

Addingham has limited employment opportunities so new residents would have to seek employment further afield which would increase the use of cars. Addingham has limited public transport with no railway so most commuters would use cars for at least some of their journey. The volume of traffic is already too high on Moor Lane and through Addingham with congestion on Main Street and Bolton Road

The local school is already near capacity with some local children recently having to go to an appeal to try to secure a place. If further housing is built this situation would occur again.
