Addingham Housing Plan - having studied your proposals in detail, I would like to register my objection to the level of development.
Irrespective of the location of the proposed houses, 171 houses are just too many for our infrastructure to absorb. It is reasonable to assume 171 houses will mean approximately 350 additional residents (approximately a 10% increase) that will need to be accommodated with school places, car parking. medical facilities and policing - we are already under-policed with little control or influence over the growing youth activities frequently disturbing a rural environment.
My greatest concern is increased traffic movement and the lack of parking facilities when visiting various facilities within the village. Additional to this concern is the growth of "through traffic" on Main Street and the B6160 where the traffic flow rarely observes the 20mph speed limit.
More houses will bring more pressures on this infrastructure.
