This site is over 1 mile from the surgery, school and convenience store, and so will mean many more cars being used, adding to congestion along
Moor Lane and in the village. This is clearly not sustainable.
No elderly residents will walk that distance to the surgery, and no parents will walk their young children that distance to the school. The return journey is all uphill, being fairly steep in places.

I object to the planned housing in Addingham area designated AD2/H on these grounds :
1. The designated area is at the end of an existing housing estate and there is only one road into/out of the area. There is already excessive traffic on the access road. Further building on this site will incur far too much extra traffic.
2. The infrastructure of the village, the village school and medical centre are already oversubscribed, and would not cope with the additional number of inhabitants proposed.
3 The area provides a safe habitat for significant numbers of wild life and provides wildlife a corridor away from the main centre of the village.
4. Public transport to the village is limited, particularly in the evenings. Because of this, the additional housing proposed would introduce much more traffic in already busy roads.
There are many brown field sites in other areas more suitable

While on the edge of the village, and therefore likely to increase the number of cars in Main St if residents choose to visit facilities in the centre of the village, this site is greenfield rather than greenbelt, and has lower biodiversity level than many others, it would be acceptable.
For commuting purposes residents of these houses would not need to drive through the centre of the village, but could access the A65 at the roundabout with the Silsden Road, as is the case for AD1/H.

A good site for housing, adjacent to existing new housing. However distance from the village centre and the slope will deter pedestrians and cyclists resulting in further traffic congestion in the village.
All new housing, whether "affordable" or other should be designed and built to maximise sustainable energy and water and enhance biodiversity.

I object to the plan because;
The site is green belt
The access to the site is up Moor Lane/Moor Park Drive - two small roads which could not cope with extra traffic nor could Main Street
Additional risk of flooding as drainage system cannot cope
How has the number of houses for Addingham been determined - allocation large for a small village compared to Ilkley
Location too far from the village centre
There are birds nesting in the trees here - notably bats which are a protected species as well as owls
The site is over 400m from a bus stop which is against your recommendation
Public transport is extremely limited with the village not on the train line
The village does not offer opportunities for employment and there are few shops or leisure facilities
The local schools are already at capacity
Green spaces are good for mental health

Addingham main street can not cope with more traffic .
Additional risk of flooding as drainage systems up here are already bad enough!
The allocation of houses is far too many for a small village with limited amenities it doesnt have the infrastructure.
The location is too far from the centre of the village, therefore more car journeys and bad for the environment.
Lots of nesting trees up here, Owls and bats are seen flying around after dusk
The site is over 400m from a bus stop against recommendations.

This is green belt land at the top end of the village.
There is limited access. Village facilities and amenities are not sufficient to meet additional needs of proposed housing.
Use of this site would significantly increase traffic along Moor lane and Moor Park drive. New homeowners are likely to drive into village for shops/school due to distance..Increase road safety risk.
Likely adverse impact on wildlife as site surrounded by mature trees.

AD1, AD2, AD6 and AD7 to the southwest of the Moor Park Estate in Addingham. Together these 4 site allocations represent 81 additional dwellings. The plan itself states that access from the main A65 will not be possible, thus these additional dwellings will all need to be accessed via Moor Lane or Moor Park Drive. The addition of so many dwellings will negatively impact the residents of this estate; 81 dwellings in an increase of over 50% on the number of houses currently in the estate.

Most sites proposed are on Greenbelt and residential development on it by definition would be harmful and should not be approved except in VERY special circumstances.

AD1/2/5/6/7 are all approximately 1.4km from most amenities including school , medical and Coop.
Walking back up a 60m climb will force cars to be used on already crowded streets around moor lane.
Lack of school places will force more traffic to commute outside the village

Construction traffic would disrupt the area.

Waste collectors often do not empty bins on the allotted day but on the next day due to full trucks.

The speed limit- 20mph is not followed, new housing and increased parking on the road will exacerbate that, increasing traffic, pollution, noise and the risk of accident and injury.
Parking issue - parking on pavements, making driving difficult and pavements difficult to use for those with prams or mobility issues.
Site unsuitable as it will put pressure on stressed roads, shops, medical centre and primary school.
Schools - oversubscribed.
flood risk - due to house building and ground springs. The site is essential to maintain good flow of water off the moors and the bypass.
Noise or pollution barrier would be required between the houses and the road.
Impact on footpath.
Destruction of local wildlife and the refuge provided by the hedges from the road.
More suitable brown belt pieces of land should be considered.
Proposals disproportionately large for Addingham which has been allocated a bigger percentage of houses than the surrounding villages.

•Access only via Moor Lane and Moor Park Drive.
•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.

AD2/H Parsons lane 14 houses Acceptable
I hope that any houses built would :
• be carbon neutral
• be built with a Sustainable Urban Drainage System
• allow for the retention of mature trees and drystone walls
• allow for the creation of protected riparian zones
• not be overlarge buildings out of scale with others around them , such as have been built at the end of Bark Lane, on the site of the old police house in Park Crescent, in the middle of Sidebeck Road, and at 31A Bark Lane behind numbers 11 and 15 The Acres. These either completely destroy privacy or block out lovely views from public spaces in the village, one of Addingham’s most attractive features
• include affordable homes for local young people to buy.

a; It is unacceptable to be developing on Green Belt land, in a village that is unable to cope. the much loved character of the village would be lost.
b; Already the traffic using this area does not observe the 20 mile limit. Most new housing would consist of two cars, increasing pollution
c; The drainage system is at a maximum and will increase the risk of flooding.
d; Addingham does not have the facilities for a much increased population. A basic bus service, no trains anymore. What schools will the children attend ? there is only a Primary School that is at capacity, further education involves travel to Ilkley or Skipton.

It is obvious that Bradford has brown sites that would be more suited to regeneration, close to schools and transport, than destroying precious green land in Addingham.

I am appalled and dismayed to hear of these proposed developments. We are astounded that Green field sites and Green belt sites are intended to be decimated with new housing. We need to keep these limited areas as open land for the well being of everyone. It has been so noticeable and essential in these difficult COVID times.
The existing road network would be deluged with additional traffic and during the construction stage noise ,pollution and heavy plant equipment accessing sites would be extremely detrimental to the environment and the well being of the existing residents.
Schools in the area are already fully subscribed, there is no justification to impose such major developments in such a pleasant area. In a nutshell it would ruin what is now a wonderful township and for what.

I would like to express my concern about the level of traffic on the two feeder roads, being Moor Lane and Moor Park Drive that would undoubtedly increase massively, with such a significant number of additional houses,were these plans to be passed.

Both these roads have a 20 mile per hour limit, which it appears, sadly, some drivers currently do not comply, so with more traffic use to such an extent as proposed it is an accident waiting to happen.

The Moor Park estate is in the majority a development of bungalows, with only the later, higher section additions being houses. The residents in the bungalows, by their very nature are mainly of the older generation and as well as the actual risk of accidents, the increased level of pollution would adversely effect their health and well being.

As local residents we have major concerns of:
The loss of green belt land and the destruction of the habitats of many species of birds and wildlife.
The increase in a lot of extra vehicles in a 20mph zone that not every body adheres to already, this will increase noise, pollution and congestion in an area populated by a lot of families and elderly residents, putting people at risk of injury.
We have no train station and a limited bus service so most journeys will be made by car through an already bustling village which will become unsafe
The drainage system in place at the moment cannot cope, more houses would put us at risk of more flooding.
The local schools will be put under pressure and would become over subscribed.

We are writing to put in our objections to the Draft Bradford District Local Plans for the proposed building of 81 new houses on Site Refs AD1/H, AD2/H, AD6/H, AD7/H. There will be more traffic up and down Moor Lane and people do not keep to the 20 MPH speed limit. Also there are concerns for the safety of young children.
Drainage and sewage can't cope now and all the hard standing created makes any ground left waterlogged.
The schools will not have room for all the children and doctors surgery will be put under pressure.
On site ret no AD!/H there has been seen bats, newts and barn owls.
All this building is also doing away with all our green belt land.

- The proposed developments on Green Belt land are not sustainable locations for more development.
- The loss of these Green Belt sites, will result in encroachment of development into the countryside, adversely affecting the view, environment and character of the village, which does not accord with Policy SP4:
- Location of Development and SP15 Creating Healthy Places. The sites are a significant distance from local amenities
- Development likely to significantly increase traffic and car journeys as most people will need to drive to local amenities and ‘principal’ towns for shopping, work and schools contrary to policy TR1(a) to deliver car-light and car-free developments

There are already concerns of flooding in the village and these can only be worsened by the replacement of soakaway fields at the top of the village with urbanisation and it’s resultant increased run-off.

The development is out of proportion to the size of the village. The local infrastructure is inadequate for the increased demands imposed by so many new households.

The increased urban sprawl would mean Addingham lose part of it’s ‘picturesque village charm’. The beautiful greenbelt with faraway views to be replaced by wall to wall housing estates. Another small part of England’s National Heritage would inevitably be destroyed.

•Over 20 year traffic on Main Street has increased.
•Although the developments are on the fringe of the village traffic will increase as people travel to school, amenities, additional trades people. Increased traffic will bring increased noise/pollution. This affects sleep and health.
•Great concerns over the loss of green space that acts as a natural run off and soak up in times of high rainfall.
•Many properties in the village have flooded over the last decade and this is increased.
•No consideration has been given to these residents in terms of implementing additional flood defences.
•The visual loss of greenspace is a significant objection. Views from the surrounding hill show Addingham as a village. Increased residential sprawl would spoil this.

My reasons for objection is as follows:

• Access will be via Moor Lane, an overcrowded road with a lot of through traffic for a residential street. Potential for over 100 extra cars will make the road unsafe particularly for the children who live and play on it.

• Building on green belt land is likely to significantly and irreversibly damage natural habitats and eco systems within the village which will contribute to a rise in carbon footprint. This is against local and national government forward view. There is brown belt land that should be considered first.

• Village amenities are over a mile from the proposed site - seems illogical for family houses

• Addingham is hugely congested with multiple traffic problems at points through the historic village. Infrastructure should be considered well in advance of any new houses. The local school does not have capacity to take more children.

I would like to formally register my objection to the proposed building plans in Ilkley (IL1/H, IL2/H, IL3/H and IL4/H), Burley-in-Wharfedale (BU1/H and BU2/H), and Addingham (AD1/H, AD2/H, AD3/H, AD4/H, AD5/H, AD6/H, AD7/8 and AD8/H), particularly those that are proposed on current green belt sites.

The current infrastructure of all three of these areas will not support further housing developments and the concomitant rises in population. The proposals would significantly change the character of these towns and the surrounding areas -- the Ilkley proposals and the Burley Sun Lane proposal, in particular, would devastate the local environment and wildlife.

None of this building should be allowed to go ahead, and no building should be allowed on green belt sites across the district full stop.
