The site proposed is adjacent to another very recent new-build, from which Moor Lane is still suffering with regard to flooding and increased fast-moving traffic. I have seen the effects of excess rainwater down our road on the infrastructure of the village at the bottom of this hillside. Central Government and environmentalists are frequently warning against new-build on hill-slopes, yet to date this seems to have been ignored. When put together with the other proposed new builds close by, the potential damage to property and danger to life is deeply disturbing.

Whilst this is ‘green field’ within our Green Belt it has relatively low biodiversity value and would be acceptable as a site for housing. It would be subject to a ecological survey and SuDS would need to be installed because of the incidence of flooding in the area.

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.

Moor lane is already a busy road. So yet more traffic into the village. 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.

Loss of agricultural land, wild life and open space. To start and build in this field would raise the possibility of future plans to build out across the fields and down behind Moor Lane. This would alter the whole look and feel of the village, pushing the village parameters out and loosing the beautiful countryside. To use space located in a more central location in the village would be more acceptable. There are sites which one were occupied by buildings which are now dormant. Access to this site would use Moor Lane, meaning a dramatic increase in traffic and pollution. The infrastructure of the village is not suitable. This is an area populated by many families where children play out. Moor lane is already a speed run.

Green belt destruction. Grade 2 listed buildings in the vicinity which could potentially be effected. A development would take away the open vista from this area. All amenities are some way away at the lower end of the village which would lead to an increase in traffic, air pollution, noise etc through an already congested Main Street in order to go to the (only) general store or the Doctors surgery.

The village map showing the suggested sites is at least ten years out of date and does not show any of the housing developments during this period, e.g. opposite AD6/H is a development of 22 houses.
Planning application has already been turned down on the basis that it is a green belt site - nothing seems to have changed to now make it available. The site opposite has seriously changed the hydrology of the landscape and further development would exacerbate the situation.

This is a Green Field site but with relatively low biodiversity value except along the boundaries. As AD1/H and AD2/H above it is acceptable as a housing site, subject to an ecological survey to identify any biodiversity concerns and mitigate impacts. The mature boundary trees and drystone walls should be retained and a wide riparian zone along the beck on the northern boundary will need to be created. The installation of SuDS on this site is especially important in view of the proximity of the beck and the incidence of flooding at properties further down Moor Lane.

We are also concerned that its distance from the village centre will be a deterrent for walking and cycling and that views for existing residents across the field towards Beamsley Beacon will be lost.

This site should be part of the longer term development plan, once the impact of new dwellings built in the near future has been properly understood. Noting that 24 households could be a potentially significant strain on the oversubscribed local education system.

This section of Moor Lane is part of the Dales High Way, and provides wonderful views to Beamsley Beacon over the green fields that lie on
the edge of Addingham, and retains the countryside setting for the village. We understand that rare protected birds are seen in these fields.
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 an ordinary field boundary will create a much less permanent boundary. This will lead to the destruction of more Green Belt in the future.
Any development here, more than 1 mile from the surgery, school and convenience store, will mean many more cars being used which is unsustainable. Flooding at the top of Moor Lane is already bad, this will make it even worse.

I object to the planned housing in Addingham area designated AD6/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

Loss of mature trees/hedgerows and low drystone wall along the boundaries.Green Belt - there's no point disgnating it if you don't keep to it.Compensatory Green Belt enhancement required but I have no confidence this will happen (see previous sentance). Building in this fleid increases the likelihood of building in the next field to the north and in the land between Moor Lane and Peak Ridding. All traffic will have to use Moor Lane - increased pollution, noise, disturbance, safety. Drainage will be adversly affected - already the drain is inadequate to take torrential rain.The site has moderate potential for sprawl and would have a major impact on openness.site falls within 2.5km of the South Pennine Moors SPA/SAC. additional traffic will have an adverse effect on the Main Street which is '... now a quieter local thoroughfare and has re-established its village characteristics' which will be destroyed with more traffic.

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 big 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 cars being used unsustainably.

1.Traffic, moor lane is an accident waiting to happen as cars are parked on both sides and moor park drive is very narrow.
2. Drains. The drainage is terrible and the drains on moor park drive are always overflowing.
3.greenbelt should be saved that is why people come to live in a village and why people visit the area and do all the beautiful walks.
4.wildlife, we have bats and owls at the top of the village, nature is important.
5. Green fields and space is good for mental health, that is why we have visitors from people who live in towns and cities to escape.
6.Too far out of the village, always have to get in your car, therefore more traffic!!!!
7. mostly older population.
8. Poor transport links, no train station.

I object to the plan because:
Significant extra traffic through the village and up Moor Lane - the roads struggle to cope with existing traffic.
The site is a mile from the village centre and uphill. - therefore journeys will be made by car. An extra 24 houses could mean at least 48 cars and more if adult children are still at home.
The site is green belt and there are better areas to develop in the village closer to the centre
Allocation to Addingham too large - the figure is much higher than previous plans - how was it determined?
Local schools at capacity as well as doctors
Flooding risk as drainage inadequate
Lack of public transport and over 400m from bus stop - not sustainable development
Lack of employment opportunities and leisure facilities
Other unused brownfield sites nearer Bradford city centre near employment transport links etc

9. Green space is good for the environment and for mental health.
10. Moor lane already has a small development of houses, no more is needed and would spoil the whole outlook of the beacon etc.
11. Many visit the village from out of town so they can enjoy the countryside of wharfedale.
12. We have alot of wildlife up here including bats and owls which need to be protected.

Serious objections again, there has already been a local development across the road from this area that has already proven an increase in traffic. Inadequate access with narrow residential roads
The increase in traffic on already busy streets that carry a 20mph speed limit would mean it would not be safe for children to play out
Already there has been large lorries for some new builds flying up Moor Park drive at speed.
It is some distance to a simple shop or post office so a car will inevitably be used by people that choose to live there.
Planning houses so close to the road would not be good for residents due to pollution for the bypass
It is an existing green belt site
There is evidence of flooding
It would no doubt have an impact on destruction of mature trees and original walling

This is green belt land at the top end of the village. Building here would have a significant adverse impact on the character of this area.
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. New homeowners are likely to drive into village for shops/school due to distance..Increase road safety risk.

Development here is promoted at an inefficient 25 dwellings per hectare. In addition, housing development is a considerable distance from the services and facilities of Addingham Local Centre. It is not within walking distance to the primary school within the settlement being significantly beyond the recommended 400 metres recommended guidance distance.

The site is identified as having ‘a major impact on the openness’ of the green belt and that it would impact on key views into the wider landscape. We consider that along with sites AD1/H and AD7/H has a significant impact on the openness of the green belt in that it protrudes into the rural transport corridor whereby only sporadic farmstead development exists at present.

This site would be acceptable for development, subject to the development consideration constraints mentioned for this location.
In addition, a wide riparian zone should be created along the beck on the northern boundary.
SuDs must be installed at this location.
As with AD1/H and AD2/H, this site is a sufficient distance from the village centre to discourage many residents to walk/cycle into the centre, bringing more vehicles into the village centre, which is a real concern for most Addingham residents.
Addingham residents already living in the vicinity of AD6/H may lose their views of Beamsley Beacon, which would be a considerable loss for them.

I object to the proposed housing developments on green belt land in Ilkley, Addingham and Burley in Wharfedale.

Apart from destroying the environment, are there plans to increase the infrastructure to accommodate the large numbers of residents who will occupy the houses. Our schools are full and the existing residents have difficulty getting an appointment at our doctors' surgeries.

The traffic through Ilkley is horrendous and parking is impossible at the weekends.

During the week people travel to Ilkley to take the train into Leeds or Bradford and park their cars on the roads outside resident's houses making peoples lives a misery.

If these proposals go ahead, no doubt in the future Addingham, Ilkley and Burley will become one if further development is allowed.

Please take into consideration the views of the people who live in these areas and reject any further development on green belt land.

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.

This is a greenfield site in a greenbelt zone which goes against everything that we should be looking to do in order to achieve a net zero society.
Whilst there are still brownfield sites withing Bradford Council’s boundaries we should not be looking to irreversibly destroy the greenbelt
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.

We’ve not been able to visit the site ourselves but concerns have been brought to our attention by local groups in Addingham. In addition to the strategic level, we have noted these specific concerns which point to unsustainable outcomes from these allocations:

AD1/H - distance of the site from the village centre which is a deterrent to walking or cycling
AD3/H - not located near public transport
AD6/H - Only part of site within 400m of a bus stop with two services every hour; distance from the village centre will be a deterrent for walking and cycling

The sites proposed for Addingham, like many other sites across the district, are proposed to be built within green belt land and at a gross density as low as 16dpha on one site (AD7/H)

I strongly object to this; Firstly the village is a village, if the access to this is via Moor Lane itself it will completely ruin it from its currently quiet nature, congestion and it ruining the road itself and its drainage. In addition if the access is going to be via the addingham Ilkley by pass then this will cause accidents to an otherwise already dangerous road which is already too busy. The village itself is already too congested which will then add to this also. Any access is going to be a problem on this.
