Developing this land would hopefully keep traffic out of Addingham Village. It would require road access onto the A65.

Policy SP3 sets out a Hierarchy of Settlements in the plan, and identifies that the Regional City of Bradford (with Shipley and Lower Baildon) will be the prime focus for housing. The Local Service Centres such as Addingham, smaller scale development will allow for ‘the protection and enhancement of those centres. I simply cannot understand why based on the figures Addingham had been allocated over a 10% increase as opposed to other more suitable areas in other areas.
Furthermore, the designated land on the western side of the village is Green Belt and is covered by a protection zone. Building on this land is clearly inappropriate because there are 2 protection zones covering Addingham, lack of supporting infrastructure, risk of increase flooding, significant increase of traffic in Moor Lane/Moor Park and main street in the village leading to increased risk of accidents.

A small site for 20 houses. Building here will mean the loss of green belt. I have observed Tree Creepers (Certhia familiaris) on the trees that will be lost if the development goes ahead. The flora indicate the ground is wet and drainage work required will further impact the area. The mature trees that will be lost will also impact drainage. Turner Lane itself is very narrow and cannot accommodate traffic - removing the trees to widen access will result in loss of habitat for birds and will likely create problems with drainage.

AD1/H, AD2/H, AD6/H and ADH sites. These will all cause a large increase in personal and commercial traffic through and around the village causing increased air and noise pollution and traffic congestion. It will also add to problems in our already overloaded drainage systems and surface water run off, all adding to the pollution and excess water in our becks and further add to flooding lower in the village

Being over 1 mile from the surgery, school and convenience store will mean many more cars being used, adding to congestion along Moor Lane and in the village. This is not sustainable.
No elderly residents will walk that distance to the surgery, and no young children will walk that distance with their parents to the school.

1. This is a site on the green belt and does not meet the criteria in policy SP3
2. This site helps separate the village from the bypassed helps preserve the historic farming setting.
3. Any properties built here would necessitate the use of a car for access to local amenities, health centre and schools - we should be trying to cut down the use of vehicles and hence pollution.
4. Turner Lane is an important part of the Dales Highway and is used by large numbers of walkers and hikers every year. It is a country lane and should remain so.
5. The infrastructure of the village cannot cope with a projected 10.3% net increase of housing stock. This number is totally disproportionate to other areas in the Bradford conurbation.
6. The owner of this site will not release it for building purposes.

I object to this site but nevertheless it may be one of the lesser of many evils in this plan.

I object to building on supposedly protected green belt land. I object to destroying mature pasture, ancient hedgerows, dry stone walls and natural habitat/ wildlife corridors.

The roads cannot cope with 20 more homes here. The housing is too far from the village centre for people to be bothered walking to school every day (currently many residents living up here drive down Moor Lane and School Lane at inappropriate speeds).

This site had a negative impact on the shape of the village and wildlife corridors.

This development is on the far western edge of Addingham village and will generate additional traffic on Turner Lane, Moor Lane and Moor Park Drive. This will include not only owners cars but also internet shopping deliveries, etc which have increased alarmingly over the last year.
Occupiers will not walk (or cycle) to and from village amenties due to this site being at the top of the hill.
Apart from the adverse environmental impact, consideration must be given to health and safety issues of increased traffic in a residential area with many elderley frail residents and also families with young vulnerable children.
As a property owner close to this develpment I am aware of adverse ground conditions on this site in relation to poor drainage and natural springs which will create problems for adjoining areas.
This development is on valuable green belt land within the bypass.
Insufficient infrastructure in Addingham.

My primary concern for development at this site is the resultant increase in the volume of traffic on Moor Park Drive and Moor Lane, thereby making it dangerous to cross the roads as well as creating noise pollution. The site is also a potentially important component of the village's green corridor, so that developing it may have detrimental effects on the local wildlife.

The development is in an area designated as green belt so should not be considered for development until all sites not in protected areas have been fully utilised.
The development is distant from the small number of services and businesses in the village. Bus services are limited and not conveniently close by. All journeys for work, shopping etc will be by therefore be made by car leading to increased pollution and traffic on small residential roads of Moor Lane, Moor Park Drive and Moor Park Way.
The development will add to the urbanisation of the western end of the village. On its own this will result in a noticeable loss of the attractive rural character of this area. However, it appears to be one of a number of similar developments in this area and together they will have a major negative impact on the local appearance and character.

This site is the furthest away from the village and isolated. This makes it unlikely or impossible for residents to walk into the village. This will mean an increase in cars travelling through the surrounding narrow roads and through the village as it cannot be assumed that the bypass will be used. This will cause an increase in pollution.
The proposed site creates an important open space on the western side of Addingham. In longer distance views, particularly from popular and important beauty spots such as Beamsley Beacon or Haw Pike, it helps to seperate the village from the bypass. Building on this part of greenbelt land will have an adverse impact on the traditional and rural character of Addingham as a village not just for the residents but also for the many visitors and tourists to the area.

As a local resident I would wish you to be aware that building new homes in AD1/H will not help to achieve the objective of building a sustainable village community or strengthen its resilience to climate change. The village centre is a mile away and uphill all the way back. Walking down to the village co-op is not an option nor is carrying shopping back uphill.
The half hourly buses do not provide a solution as there are still a 400 further yards uphill from the bus stop. Building more houses in Turner Lane will not strengthen the village’s resilience to climate change as these new residents will have to use their cars to get to and from the village and will not engage with village life.

Site is at least a mile uphill from village centre, hence most journeys will be by car. Limited bus service. Consequent increase in noise, pollution & risk of injury/accidents to pedestrians, mainly children.
Can drainage system cope with extra houses or will there be increased flood risk?
Loss of green space.

This corner of pasture land provides a buffer between the by-pass and the housing. The lack of development on this area gives a green edge boundary to the top end of the village and is very close to the nature reserve. More housing impacts negatively on the natural aspect of the village here and is not necessary.

This is a small but important area of green space surrounded by mature trees . The access on to Turner lane would increase traffic significantly down on to Moor Lane and into the centre of the village which is already congested and is the main route by which families will drive to the primary school. Access along Bolton Road is via a single lane as on street parking is essential for the residents.

This is a most attractive field enclosure with mature trees to the boundary. It is 1.4km from the village and not a sustainable location. Living close by I know there are bats and owls regularly seen. This combined with the other 3 identified sites at this end of the village would add 81 dwellings on top of the 18 recently built at Moor Croft/Moor View plus the 6 at Parsons lane would in total effectively create a housing development of 105 new dwellings. The road network of Moor Lane and Moor Park Drive would be unable to cope. The site would not suit affordable or social housing so would again fail to meet the objectives of the policy framework, Other sites in Addingham previously rejected would be far more suited eg AD005 in the rejected site list.

Respondent: Ilkley Clean River Group

Ilkley Clean River Group (ICRG) object to this plan because of the adverse impact the new houses and supporting infrastructure will have on river water quality.
The combined sewage and drainage system is already overwhelmed and these new buildings will directly lead to a degradation in water quality through more unauthorised sewage discharges directly into the river in Ilkley.
The Addingham at Low Mill CSO flows directly into a dry stream which is already a health hazard and the sewage from these additional houses will make that worse.
SuDS mitigation plans for run-off water in neighbouring Ilkley have been shown to be inadequate as there is currently a challenge on the adequacy of these plans at the new Moss & Moor Garden Centre.
Note: the Addingham sewage system runs into the Ilkley sewage system (which is already overwhelmed) so we also object to the plans for new houses in Ilkley.

1) The site will generate an unacceptable level of additional traffic, feeding into roads that do not have capacity for extra traffic. The site is a mile and 200ft. uphill from the village centre. No one is going to walk or cycle to use village amenities. In the context of the climate emergency, generating additional car journeys undermines global sustainability. 2) Addingham village centre needs regeneration, with people walking to shop and use amenities. It does not need up to another 160 cars driving through Main Street on their way to Ilkley and other centres. 3) Selection of this site conflicts with the adopted Neighbourhood Plan. With AD2/H, AD6/H and ADF7/H and the new houses in Moor View, Moor Croft and the Timber Yard it constitutes a large estate of houses. The site involves building on greenbelt. Both aspects precluded by the adopted Neighbourhood Plan.

The number of houses proposed are disproportionate to the area of the plot. the large number of additional houses will add significantly to traffic density to Moor Lane and Moor Park Drive. The site has a number of large mature trees that will be lost. Tree Creepers have been seen in this area - development will mean lost of habitat for them and other birds. The area is wet land and disturbance will result in drainage problems. Turner Lane is small and narrow - road development would be required for access to the proposed site and will ruin the character of the area.
