1) The site will generate an unacceptable level of additional traffic, feeding into roads that do not have capacity for extra traffic. The site is a mile and 200ft. uphill from the village centre. No one is going to walk or cycle to use village amenities. In the context of the climate emergency, generating additional car journeys undermines global sustainability. 2) Addingham village centre needs regeneration, with people walking to shop and use amenities. It does not need up to another 160 cars driving through Main Street on their way to Ilkley and other centres. 3) Selection of this site conflicts with the adopted Neighbourhood Plan. With AD2/H, AD6/H and ADF7/H and the new houses in Moor View, Moor Croft and the Timber Yard it constitutes a large estate of houses. The site involves building on greenbelt. Both aspects precluded by the adopted Neighbourhood Plan.
