No additional secondary school provision is indicated for a total of 1400+ new houses in Burley, Menston, Ilkley and Addingham. This is not responsible or sustainable development.
This Plan directly contradicts UK Government aims of reducing emissions, leading on climate change and protecting the environment.
BMDC should be building first on brownfield sites, and 'infilling', before any consideration is given to forever destroying fields and greenbelt.
Public transport in Addingham is insufficient to discourage residents from using their cars. The X84 service from Leeds to Skipton now terminates in Ilkley, the 62 only runs between Keighley and Ilkley, no longer going on to Otley and the airport, the 784 runs between Skipton and Otley. Insufficient buses and no trains means residents will further clog and pollute our roads.
The Partial Review of the Addingham Neighbourhood plan recommended 75 houses, why now 175?
This village will be ruined by additional traffic.
