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.

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 development places undue pressure on nearby roads and drainage systems as well as local facilities such as the primary school. It threatens the village feel and increases the traffic flow considerably.

This is overdevelopment on a small paddock of green belt. It will add to the traffic using Moor Lane for access. At least 160 vehicles if all proposed developments go ahead and there is a development of 5 houses being constructed at present. Moor Lane already has a problem with fast moving traffic the 20 mph advisory speed is frequently ignored. Such an increase in traffic is unacceptable and dangerous. The utilities, especially the ancient sewer system will struggle. These pockets of land help prevent flooding in the village and help to support wildlife which is rapidly losing its habitat.

Traffic: We've already seen a large increase in traffic on both Moor Park Drive and Moor Lane due to the recent 18 newly built houses at the top of Moor Lane. Six new houses are already being built and will add to the problem. If all the planned housing goes ahead, there is a potential of the number of cars to increase by 160. Both access roads (Moor Lane and Moor Park Drive) are narrow with cars parked either side. Moor Park Drive has many bungalows and houses for an older population. The speed limits of 20 mph are already not kept, so more traffic will pose an even greater danger to vulnerable residents.
Greenbelt land: The plan proposes building on designated greenbelt land in our picturesque and traditional village enjoyed by hikers (on Dales Way) when there is brownfield land available for development in the Bradford Met District itself.

AD2/H is owned by the Parish Council and was bequeathed as an amenity for the village providing allotments for the poor. It has never been offered for allotments. This field should be retained for the village. It could become a Covid Memorial site with trees commemorating individuals and seats for contemplation. Additionally planting trees in the field would help to absorb some of the water flowing off the moors and reduce run off onto Turner Lane.

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 piece 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. It also acts as a natural corridor for wildlife.

This site is on the edge of an established residential area with further housing under construction and is in poor condition. It is owned by our Parish Council which would provide an opportunity for affordable homes. The site has low biodiversity value. Mature trees and boundary walls should be retained.

Whilst not green belt this site is a valuable open space donated to the people of Addingham for allotments in the 1870's. This wish should be protected and I would hope the Parish Council honour this. I believe they have no desire to sell. As per my previous comments for AD1/H the location is not a sustainable one over 1 mile form the village. Everyone would drive to the school and shops and the road network cannot cope.

This is not green belt land so my objection is less strong than in relation to other sites in Addingham. However, it would be an extesion of the spread of the village and I would prefer it to remain as a field.

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) This is public land allocated for the benefit of the people of Addingham and should not be sold for private development. 2) The site is a mile and 200ft. uphill from the village centre. No one is going to walk or cycle to use village amenities. The site will generate an unacceptable level of additional traffic. In the context of the climate emergency, generating additional car journeys undermines global sustainability. 3) Addingham village centre needs regeneration, with people walking to shop and use other amenities. It does not need up to another 160 cars driving through Main Street on their way to Ilkley and other centres. 4) With AD1/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 – this conflicts with the adopted Neighbourhood Plan policy of small scale developments.

This field belongs to the village and it is not certain that the Parish Council has the right to sell it. The PC should be the guardians of the village and will not be acting in our interest if they sell the land for development. Small pieces of land like this are an important part of Addingham's identity as a rural village. This field should remain as an opportunity for a villager to undertake a small agricultural or horticultural enterprise, including for a young person to establish a first small enterprise, for example. Building on this field will add to the traffic on Moor Lane, causing pollution, traffic hazard and noise, all fo which are inappropriate on the edge of the village. It will mean the end of children playing out together in the street. Building here will not be affordable by local workers, we should not be encouraging commuting.

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 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. Local amenities will be unable to cope with additional pressure - local schools are already at capacity. The local coop store has very limited parking and congestion at the end of the village will be a consequence.

This site is on the western edge of Addingham which is not a sustainable location as it will encourage the use of private motor vehicles as it is too far from services. The site will exacerbate flooding and drainage problems in the lower areas of the village. The site is owned by the Parish Council who have indicated that it would not be available for housing purposes. The site contributes to the excess of housing proposed to be allocated to Addingham.

This site represents an important buffer between the 6 houses under construction in the former log yard at the top of the lane and Turner Lane and will remain so when the development is completed. Parsons Lane is a narrow country lane and will struggle to cope with any traffic. The site is too far away from local amenities and would necessitate the use of cars to reach them and so would not represent a sustainable development. This is another green field site that should be cherished and it does not fulfil any of the criteria for its use. Numbers of hedgehogs are frequent visitors to this site and we already know how under threat they already are.
This site is owned by the Parish Council and was a bequest from a resident stating that this field be used for the benefit of Addingham residents - not for building on!!

I object because:
This is green belt land and will result in loss of habitat in a scenic and sensitive natural area, which will significantly impact natural views around the village.
The area is in close proximity to the moor; wild birds, bats and deer are frequently seen. The area provides a wildlife corridor and a significant habitat for wildlife.
The village school and medical centre are already oversubscribed. Children will have to travel to schools out of the area impacting their sense of local community. As public transport is limited, especially in the evenings, additional new housing will increase the already extremely high levels of local traffic.
There are many viable brown field alternatives, e.g. in Shipley and Bradford.
The development is non-compliant with the Addingham village plan and the Bradford council's own policy of a zero carbon future.

There are mature trees and no access to A65. Again all traffic has to go through the village. The land is obviously compromised in terms of drainage as evidenced by reeds growing in the field. Residents park cars on the street in Addingham as houses generally do not have parking spaces. Although there is a bypass the Main Street is always very busy and busses, lorries, vans and farm vehicles use it.
Addingham and Ilkley have limited school places already.

AD2/H Parsons Lane – This is a green field site, but with relatively low biodiversity value. It is a grazed grassland paddock in poor condition. As above it is acceptable as a housing site, subject to an ecological survey to identify any biodiversity concerns and mitigate potential impacts. The mature boundary trees and drystone walls should be retained.
Its distance from the village centre will be a deterrent for walking and cycling but as Parish Council-owned land it presents an excellent opportunity to build affordable houses.

Some additional housing in the village is certainly required. The smaller sites within the plan are perfectly reasonable providing the necessary additional investment in infrastructure and education is made.
