The road access is inadequate. Primary school oversubscribed. Will it be significantly enlarged? Ilkley Grammar School significantly oversubscribed, is a new Secondary school to be built? What about sewers? No protection for the rural environment in this plan, as the proposed site both productive farm land, and also Green belt. The land to be built on mitigates flooding. Existing estate has families with young children, and many retired people. Increased traffic volumes will have a detrimental impact, making it less safe for children and elderly people. Almost all of the former sites of local economic activity, have had houses built on them. Negligible demand for changing the economic status of the village. House building would be an unsustainable manner in which to increase economic activity. Industrial/economic centres need somewhere characterful and environmentally wholesome to which people can escape for a quiet weekend walk, Addingham is just such a place.
