Whilst some Green Belt release for development is accepted, it is essential that this takes place in sustainable locations. Addingham has a significant number of sites (5) coming forward as Green Belt release sites. The sites on the western side of Addingham are particularly unsustainable, being distant from services in the village and therefore likely to encourage the use of private cars even for short trips to local services. Moreover, these sites on the western edge will not bring forward many houses for the amount of land they lose to Green Belt - 67 houses on 2.93ha of Green Belt. Addingham should have a lower level of provision, as set out in SP3, and this should exclude a number of Green Belt sites including AD1/H, AD6/H and AD7/H.
