I object to the plan because;
The site is green belt
The access to the site is up Moor Lane/Moor Park Drive - two small roads which could not cope with extra traffic nor could Main Street
Additional risk of flooding as drainage system cannot cope
How has the number of houses for Addingham been determined - allocation large for a small village compared to Ilkley
Location too far from the village centre
There are birds nesting in the trees here - notably bats which are a protected species as well as owls
The site is over 400m from a bus stop which is against your recommendation
Public transport is extremely limited with the village not on the train line
The village does not offer opportunities for employment and there are few shops or leisure facilities
The local schools are already at capacity
Green spaces are good for mental health
