I object to the planned housing in Addingham area designated AD7/H on these grounds :
1. The designated area is at the end of an existing housing estate and there is only one road into/out of the area. There is already excessive traffic on the access road. Further building on this site will incur far too much extra traffic.
2. The infrastructure of the village, the village school and medical centre are already oversubscribed, and would not cope with the additional number of inhabitants proposed.
3 The area provides a safe habitat for significant numbers of wild life and provides wildlife a corridor away from the main centre of the village.
4. Public transport to the village is limited, particularly in the evenings. Because of this, the additional housing proposed would introduce much more traffic in already busy roads.
There are many brown field sites in other areas more suitable
