The housing density in the proposed development is out of proportion for the size and character of Addingham village. It will result in a large sprawling estate along the A65 destroying the nature of the village. Services and local amenities will not cope with the additional demand - local schools are already at capacity. Much of the development would be on green belt - we cannot keep losing green belt to housing. Many mature trees will be lost along with the loss of habitat for wildlife - one site (AD7/H) is directly opposite Marchup wildlife reserve - development here would be against the very purpose of a wildlife reserve. The area is generally wetland - flooding has already been observed as a consequence of previous development opposite site AD6/H on Moor Lane.
