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 cannot understand why based on the figures Addingham had been allocated over a 10% increase as opposed to other more suitable 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 inappropriate because there is lack of supporting infrastructure, limited employment opportunities, drainage issues increasing the risk of flooding and will lead to significant increase of traffic in the immediate area and the main street of the village leading to increased risk of accidents.

The area of Moor Lane proposed for development is part of the Millennium Way offering extensive views to Beamsley Beacon. Building 24 houses here will destroy the natural beauty offered to walkers - this is a green belt. Drainage issues have been observed already since the development of the opposite side of Moor Lane a few years ago - flooding has occurred in the field behind Moor Lane (AD6/H joins this field) causing water to flow into peoples back garden. Wildlife habitat was lost when the first houses along this part of Moor Lane were built and the proposed development will naturally add to this situation. The additional load on local services, particularly education will be extensive. Local schools (Ilkley Grammar is oversubscribed now) will not be able to offer places to new families. Traffic problems will grow due to increased cars etc. associated with the new housing.

This section of Moor Lane is part of the Dales High Way, and provides views to Beamsley Beacon over the green fields that lie on the edge of Addingham, and retains the countryside setting for the village. Replacing this open agricultural field with housing (proposed allocation AD6/H) will completely change the character and appearance of Addingham from this important footpath.
If this development is allowed there is no real reason to prevent further development beyond it stretching to Skipton Road. Moor Lane currently provides a strong boundary to the Green Belt and moving the boundary to a field boundary with no significant trees and little significance in the landscape will create a much less permanent boundary. This will lead to the destruction of more Green Belt.
Any development here, more than 1 mile from the surgery, school and convenience store, will mean many more cares being unsustainably used.

We do not want the houses at the top of Moor lane and Turner lane to be built on the grounds of significant risk to safety that will be posed by the additional traffic that will pass. The road is already an accident waiting to happen.
The flooding element is a massive concern. Some local houses flood on a regular basis, and does so far more often since the houses at the top of Moor lane were built. We strongly appose the building of any more houses in our immediate vacinity.

This site is both greenfield and greenbelt and is a long way from any of the facilities in the village meaning an increase in traffic would result from its development with all of the associated impacts of pollution and noise. As noted the area has a potential for sprawl and its development would have a major impact on openness.

1. This field is in the green belt and any development on it would be contrary to current government (and Labour Party) guidelines.
2. The field has already had a planning application for building on it turned down because it is in the green belt and nothing has materially changed to make it available for development now.
3. The site is too far from any local facilities - shop, health centre, schools, churches and would require the use of cars to reach them. This is not what should be encouraged.
4. The outdated village map used in the proposed development plan does not show any development that have occurred on Moor Lane and Turner Lane in the last ten years: there are already 22 houses in the site opposite AD6/H (Moor Croft and Moor View) that do not appear.

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.
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.

I feel that developing this site would lead to unacceptable volumes of traffic on Moor Lane, thereby making the road dangerous and creating noise pollution. My other concerns are that the village's local amenities and facilities will be insufficient to support the extra residents. For example, Addingham Primary School may not currently have the capacity to accept so many new pupils who are children of the new residents. This would also put pressure on capacity of Ilkley Grammar School when these pupils reach secondary school age.

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.

With the addition of these homes, there will be an increase in cars which is not only bad for traffic levels but also for the environment.

There will be a threat to the village feel as well, as they are not enough local amenities as there is.

Location: The proposed site is a long way from the center of the village and up a steep hill. This means new residents are more likely to drive to use the local amenities. The parking situation at the primary school - and in the village as a whole - is already challenging. The impact on the environment and increased pollution needs to be considered
Drainage: Residents on Moor Lane/Turner Lane have issues with flooding. The current drainage system in the village is not equipped to cope with the current number of houses in the area. New housing will exacerbate the problem and increase the risk of local flooding
Services in Addingham: Addingham is a small village with a limited number of shops and services. The infrasture does not support the number of new houses putting additional strain on Addingham Primary School and Ilkley Grammar School which is already oversubscribed

Building on AD6/H will not help to strengthen the village community.
The recent development in Moor Lane opposite has added to the considerably to the number of cars. Once you get into your car you continue on into Ilkley where there is much more choice and range of facilities and services. Anyone living at this end of the village will use their cars, adding to the amount of traffic and pollution. The majority of people use their car cars on a daily basis. A significant number of households have two or more cars.

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 wildlife corridor.

The loss of this site to housing would be criminal. It would be an unnecessary encroachment into the green belt removing fantastic views across to Beamsley Beacon for those walking the Dales Highway, It is known for its bird life with Curlews and Lapwings a common site. Drainage is a major issue with severe problems already encountered by the residents of Moor Lane by overflowing drains unable to cope with surface water runoff. Planning permission was refused for the site in 2017 and all reasons given in the decision are still valid today. As with the other sites at the west end of the village the location is not a sustainable one and would result in an excessive use of motor vehicles thus conflicting with the aims of the policy document.

My objections are not as strong as for other sites, especially AD3/H and AD4/H. However, development of AD6/H would be a westward extension of the village and would diminish its rural aspect. 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 site has been turned down for housing once before. It is green belt and should not be built on. If development were allowed to the east of Moor Lane there is no reason to prevent further development beyond it stretching to Skipton Road, undermining the village’s rural character. 2) This site will exacerbate existing problems of drainage and flooding. There is insufficient drainage and flooding infrastructure in Moor Lane to accommodate 24 houses on this site. 3) 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. 4) With AD1/H, AD2/H and ADF7/H and the new houses in Moor View, Moor Croft and the Timber Yard it will constitute a large estate of houses – this conflicts with the adopted Neighbourhood Plan.

This part of Moor Lane constitutes part of the Millennium Way and development here will destroy part of the natural beauty of the area as views to Beamsley Beacon will be lost from the Millennium Way route. Previous development (in the past couple of years) on the opposite side of Moor Lane to the proposed development has resulted in back gardens along the length of Moor Lane being subject to flooding. Additional traffic density due to the proposed development will add considerably to safety issues along Moor Lane and Moor Park drive. This is green belt and should not be developed in this way.

This site is not in a sustainable location as it it more than 400m from all services including bus stops. It is an important Green Belt site, providing open views to Beamsley Beacon from the Dales High Way Strategic footpath. It forms foraging grounds for protected species and is close to nesting grounds. Development of the site would adversely affect drainage and flooding issues for many properties lying at a lower level.
