I am concerned about the developments between the Main street and the Addingham by-pass as these would increase to flood risk to the village from extra water run off. There are also footpaths in these areas which would need not only to be protected from building upheaval but would also need surfacing so they remain useable in wet weather and not become deep mud due to lack of drainage, and increased footfall.
The other sites would impact on wild life habitats and local important trees such as those seen as you enter the village from the Ilkley direction and the in-fill sites on nature reserves. I would want reassurance that specimen trees would be protected and wild life respected.
Finally I don’t know where you think any children will be able to go to school as local schools are full. Doctor’s surgeries and similar amenities are also at bursting point.
