Housing Distribution - Addingham
Objection to the housing target for Addingham

Bradford's policy SP3 identifies Addingham as a Local Service Center within which a smaller scale development will allow for protection of these centers. The scale of the planned development is disproportionate to the size of the village (an increase of over 10% in total for the entire village). Bradford's own increase is only just above 9% when the plan states that the focus of new development should be in Bradford itself. The suggested housing increase will have a significant and detrimental impact on the character of the village set within the historic farming setting. Before the bypass was built, Addingham Main Street was a dangerous and hazardous road. It is likely that cars from the new houses will once again dangerously increase congestion in the village center as it cannot be assumed that the bypass will be used.
