This site represents an important buffer between the 6 houses under construction in the former log yard at the top of the lane and Turner Lane and will remain so when the development is completed. Parsons Lane is a narrow country lane and will struggle to cope with any traffic. The site is too far away from local amenities and would necessitate the use of cars to reach them and so would not represent a sustainable development. This is another green field site that should be cherished and it does not fulfil any of the criteria for its use. Numbers of hedgehogs are frequent visitors to this site and we already know how under threat they already are.
This site is owned by the Parish Council and was a bequest from a resident stating that this field be used for the benefit of Addingham residents - not for building on!!
