I object to the plan because:
The site is green belt
There are numerous forms of wildlife notably birds in the area - owls and also bats which are a protected species
The area is regularly used by dog walkers etc and provides a green area which is good for mental health
Building on the site will destroy the unique quality of Addingham village
Inadequate drainage for the area will mean flooding lower down the village
Significant increase in traffic flow which cannot be accommodated on Moor Lane/Moor Park Drive
The site is far from the village and uphill - thus increasing traffic even more
The area is close to the Special Protection Areas of the North/South Pennine Moors
There is a lack of public transport
There are brownfield sites closer to Bradford with better job opportunities and transport links
