This section of Moor Lane is part of the Dales High Way, and provides views to Beamsley Beacon over the green fields that lie on the edge of Addingham, and retains the countryside setting for the village. Replacing this open agricultural field with housing (proposed allocation AD6/H) will completely change the character and appearance of Addingham from this important footpath.
If this development is allowed there is no real reason to prevent further development beyond it stretching to Skipton Road. Moor Lane currently provides a strong boundary to the Green Belt and moving the boundary to a field boundary with no big trees and little significance in the landscape will create a much less permanent boundary. This will lead to the destruction of more Green Belt.
Any development here, more than 1 mile from the surgery, school and convenience store, will mean many more cars being used unsustainably.
