Development here is promoted at an inefficient 25 dwellings per hectare. In addition, housing development is a considerable distance from the services and facilities of Addingham Local Centre. It is not within walking distance to the primary school within the settlement being significantly beyond the recommended 400 metres recommended guidance distance.

The site is identified as having ‘a major impact on the openness’ of the green belt and that it would impact on key views into the wider landscape. We consider that along with sites AD1/H and AD7/H has a significant impact on the openness of the green belt in that it protrudes into the rural transport corridor whereby only sporadic farmstead development exists at present.
