This is totally wrong, innumerate and illogical for Addingham, which is a Local Service Centre (emphasis on a smaller scale of development), has growth of 10.3% - being the highest in this tier, and double the average of the other 10 centres.
Addingham's growth is also higher than Ilkley (only 4.2%), Keighley and Bingley, and also less than Bradford City (growth 9.3%) which will be “the prime focus of new housing development” within the area.
I object to the planned sites AD1, 2, 6 & 7/H. All these sites are to the far west of the village, over 1 mile from the village centre, the surgery and the primary school. No elderly residents will walk that distance to the surgery, and no young children will walk that distance with their parents to the school. All will use cars, which will therefore add to the village congestion, clearly not sustainable transport.
