I object to recent proposals to develop areas in Addingham targeting 175 new homes. The Addingham Neighbourhood plan was adopted by a large majority in the village reducing the original target of 200 homes to 75. It was fully expected that after the village consultation the conclusion of the Addingham Neighbourhood Plan would be respected.
Objections
1. Encroachment into Green Belt demonstrating poor sensitivity to the Environment and affecting protection for wildlife sites and biodiversity, hedgerows, trees and green corridors.

2). Impact on Infrastructure.
Transport by increasing the number of cars in relation to the number of houses built - build up of traffic increasing pollution levels and affecting residents health and safety.

3). Education - local schools have limited capacity.

4). Effects on health by increasing housing density, reducing green space, altering the nature of the village impacting wellbeing.
