•The additional housing will create too much traffic causing the area to be unsafe. The roads are narrow and have parked cars leading to cars waiting to pass.
•Increase of around 648 journeys per day and there is a risk of somebody being hit by a car on these narrow streets.
•Additional households will require 181 school places and 543 people needing a doctor.
•Increase in Addingham’s population with be 13.6%. Supportive of proposals in Ilkely providing additional school places and GPs are made available. Based on 283 additional dwellings in Ilkely having 3 occupants, the increase in population would be 5.7% much lower than Addingham’s 13.6%.
•This increase in population in Addingham will be damaging for the environment. Further infrastructure will be needed and likely to be built on green belt land.
•These proposals will see the green belt in this part of the Wharf valley diminished.
