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

There are other developments planned in Addingham which are not greenfield in the greenbelt and I have no objections to these (AD2/H, AD3/H, AD5/H, AD8/H) as I recognise there is a need for additional housing.

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.

-Adverse effect on the character/appearance of Addingham which is close to the Yorkshire Dales National Park and the natural beauty of the river Wharfe.
-Loss of Green Belt land.
-Loss of valued flora and fauna, barn owls, tawny owls, curlews, lapwings and a colony of bats.
-Impact of increased dwellings/cars would put great pressure on Moor Lane and Moor Park Drive and impact traffic flow and safety.
-Air pollution will increase.
-This site is a mile uphill from the village center and the Primary School. Most residents would not be inclined to walk or cycle.
-The drainage system cannot cope with the current number of houses in Turner Lane/Moor Lane so there will be an increased risk of flooding.
-Sites are available in Addingham that are closer to the existing facilities/services

I object to the suggested developments AD1, 2, 6 & 7 for reasons of lack of suitable access to housing built in these areas. The feeder roads for these sites, Moor Lane and Moor Park Drive, are not wide enough to carry the amount of extra traffic which would be generated by houses in these areas. The speed of traffic coming eastwards down Silsden Road from the roundabout precludes the building of any additional access road from Turner Lane to Silsden Road for safety reasons.

Sites 1, 2 , 6, & 7 represent an infill of 81 houses and are too densely clustered in a small area at the western edge of Addingham. Infrastructure problems will be caused by excess traffic, limited and difficult access, drainage, flood risk etc.

Object to proposed building on land adjacent to Turner Lane, Parsons & Moor Lane.

1. Building will increase flood water/run off to the field of Heathness Road and other western sections of village. Perimeter walls are eroding and garden is flooded for several months of the year. This problem, exacerbated by the building of the dual carriageway to the west, has not been addressed. Current drainage cannot cope with eastern moving run-off.

2. Since there is no rail link and limited bus service, this will bring an inordinate amount of traffic through a small village, For the size of village, we have been already overburdened with new builds. School will not be able to cope with enlarged intake, and neither will our main road.

3. Proposed area is a gateway for walkers. It forms part of the Dales High Way and will completely transform the western side of the village.
