In principle I support the Area Strategy – supporting the regeneration of Addingham, supporting local services and protecting green and open spaces. However, there are two aspect of implementation that I do not support: 1) The number of new houses (181) is too high and there is no basis for the figure. The adopted Neighbourhood Plan should be followed. 2) Housing development at AD1/H, AD2/H, AD6/H and AD7/H will not support local services. They will be dormitory houses for car-based commuters. These sites are a one mile walk uphill from the village centre, the road rising 200 ft. No one is going to walk or cycle to use the village amenities. All journeys will be by car. Addingham village centre needs regeneration, with people walking to shop and use other amenities. It does not need another 160 cars driving through Main Street on their way to Ilkley and other centres.
