Noting that the summary description references limited employment opportunities.
Section 5.15.8
The delivery of 163 new houses, is not justified. Only a small number of newly formed households from within the local population are required. At the term ‘modest growth’ is not a reasonable description, particularly when Addingham is unlikely to attract new residents looking to establish businesses in the village and create employment opportunities. The sites (Main Street /Addingham Bypass (East) and Main Street Addingham/ Bypass (west)) that are in effect infill of existing developments will put an extraordinary strain on the local provision of services and facilities, not least of which the oversubscribed local education system.
