We’ve not been able to visit the site ourselves but concerns have been brought to our attention by local groups in Addingham. In addition to the strategic level, we have noted these specific concerns which point to unsustainable outcomes from these allocations:

AD1/H - distance of the site from the village centre which is a deterrent to walking or cycling
AD3/H - not located near public transport
AD6/H - Only part of site within 400m of a bus stop with two services every hour; distance from the village centre will be a deterrent for walking and cycling

The sites proposed for Addingham, like many other sites across the district, are proposed to be built within green belt land and at a gross density as low as 16dpha on one site (AD7/H).
