Firstly, traffic volume in the village of Addingham is already a significant problem due to commuters using the village as a route to Bolton Abbey and Harrogate. The roads within the village are not fit for this volume of traffic and the 20mph speed limit is seldom adhered to by drivers. Any significant uplift in houses are going to make an already significant problem worse.

Addingham utilities infrastructure is insufficient to accommodate additional dwellings.

Local children clearly want.to attend the primary school in the village and the school is already over subscribed. Adding further housing is counter productive.

The surrounding fields are situated on green belt and proposed building on this green belt would be detrimental to numerous aspects. Loss of trees, nature conservation and biodiversity.

Addingham offers vey little it terms of available employment opportunities, with only local shops and public houses situated in the village
