Respondent: Mr Andrew Best

This area is currently Green Belt, with ancient hedgerows and significant wildlife interest. When the Addingham Neighbourhood Plan was overwhelmingly approved by the residents of the village, following extensive public information/Q and A sessions and a village-wide consultation, it demonstrated that there was no requirement to develop the Green Belt.

This area is distant from bus stops and other local facilities. There is little doubt that it will create significant additional traffic on both St Paul's Rise and Southfield Lane- both of which are currently quiet estate roads, with children playing etc.

Development of this site seems to fly in the face of the idea/necessity of sustainable development, with needless destruction of habitat and green space with its subsequent impact on the landscape, biodiversity and sustainability of the area.
