Construction traffic would disrupt me and 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.

AD6/H/Moor Lane I would not object to some building on this site but I think that there needs to be an overview of this and AD1/H, AD2/H and AD7/H to ensure that this part of the village does not become too heavily built up.

Moor Lane isn't suitable for increased traffic.
The by-pass is a dangerous road which is already too busy
The new houses are not sustainable, they are a mile from Addingham centre and so Moor Lane will bear the extra traffic on this. It is already too busy and will become very unsafe. The extra cars will increase noise, congestion, pollution and injury risk. Nobody ahears to the current speed limit. The current drainage system cannot cope as things are so and when it rains they completely overflow and come out of the drains in the road, we will be at risk of flooding from this. In addition the majority of houses already on Moor Lane do not currently have adequate parking facilities and so cars currently travel between two parked cars on either side of the road which is already dangerous so this will a lot worse.

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 ( I moved into the village from living in the city )
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.

Object to plan for 105 house at Moor Lane/Moor Park Drive and Turner Lane on the following grounds:

1. Traffic increase on Moor Park Drive and Moor Lane - narrow estate roads not main access to other estates.
2. Speed increases on roads - already very dangerous.
3. Drains and sewers not able to take further large increases of sewage and tap water.
4. No felling of trees - leave as Green Belt.
5. Access to Silsden Road. Cars travelling at speed on A65.
6. Walks and pathways cannot stand increased population of approx. 250/450 people (105 houses).
7. Utility supplies are not sufficient.
8. Would spoil the aspect of this part of village - at present it is open aspect, green fields and trees.

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, in particular AD6/H due to lack of defensible boundary
- adverse impact on the view (Beasley Beacon) , 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 d policy TR1(a) to deliver car-light and car-free developments

AD6/H Objection

1. lack of evidence of the need for a further large housing development in Addingham which would increase the strain on a village which already has limited employment, shopping and recreational facilities. Main Street congestion would worsen.

2. School facilities are at present fully subscribed

3. the top of Moor Lane location has already had a problem with flood water which would increase if more houses were built nearby; plus increased road safety risk at the Moor Lane/Turner Lane junction.

4. Impact on pleasant views of the village from he Dalesway long distance walking route and also from the north.

5. The proposed site would clearly not pass the “ exceptional circumstances “ test for the release of greenbelt land - other brownfield sites are surely available.

6. the short consultation time with very few people, especially the many elderly residents without internet access, aware of the plans.

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.

Addingham is a small village and the main street in Addingham is already congested.
A further 81 additional houses with one two or sometimes three cars will increase the noise congestion and pollution in this beautiful village at the edge of the Dales.
I STRONGLY OBJECT to the proposals for the houses that may be built in Turner Lane and Moor Lane.
The roads leading to these sites are already very busy, there is a 20 mile a hour limit on Moor Lane, and Moor Park Drive and vehicles are often parked on both sides of the road. My concern is for the safety of residents in these streets.
There is a mix of elderly residents and young families and extra cars would certainly be very dangerous on these roads.
Extra houses would also put pressure on services in Addingham, I understand the class sizes at the school are quite large and Ilkley Grammer school is already oversubscribed.

•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.

Object to housing plan for AD6/H on basis of Green Belt assessment.
Impact on Openness: This site consists of undeveloped/open fields. There is no built form on the site (except for the dry stone wall field boundaries). Due to topography and existing landscape features there are wide and expansive views from (and into) the site across the wider Green Belt and beyond. The site is not visible from the main Road (A65) due to landscape buffers but is highly visible from the adjacent minor roads of Moor Lane. Development of the site would have major negative impact on the openness of the Green Belt in this location.

This was classed as a MAJOR risk to the impact on OPENNESS

I attach a photograph of the view from within the village boundary as you enter from the west on the Dales Highway and what will be there if developed.

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.

Building on Greenbelt should not be allowed destroying views and the openness of the village.

The opportunity for sprawl will be uncontrollable along the north boundary and the outstanding views over the open fields towards Beamsley will be lost forever.

AD6/H is too far from the village amenities to expect families to walk into the village and back up the steep hill.
Car journeys will increase dramatically on already busy village streets.

AD6/H was refused planning a few of years ago and nothing has changed so the reasons put forward then are still valid.

The total number of new dwellings proposed for Addingham is disproportionate to the size of the village.

There is no supporting infrastructure for the village now. No train station, no secondary school, poor bus links, most commuting is by car already. 300 extra cars in the village is contrary to pollution targets.

If there is no option to using greenbelt land there are better sites closer to the village.

Oppose the proposed 24 new houses.
Land is Green Belt
Current access from Moor Lane is terrible.
Drivers break speed limit, it is only a matter of time before there is a significant accident.
A stream runs down the side of the proposed development.
Additional cars will add noise and pollution to the green belt/countryside
Open views to Beamsley Beacon would be ruined
Impact on visual amenity of historic buildings
Local schools oversubscribed
Due to location it is unlikely that anyone will walk to/from school, additional car traffic will be dangerous and cause pollution.
Addingham doesn’t have the infrastructure to accommodate an extra 81 houses , the road through the village is often blocked due to parking and large vehicles
Loosing so much green belt will alter the the village and it will not recover I do not agree with some of the other applications however the above application is the worst one so I am objecting in the very strongest terms.

Moor Lane has seen detrimental impact from
additional housebuilding in recent years.
Theoretically a 20 mph zone, speed limits are broken by cars travelling to the top of the road, children are used to playing in what was previously a quiet road, the current situation is an accident waiting to happen.
Impact of increased traffic flow
Impact on flow through the village on Main Street and Bolton Road.
Proposal AD5/H, proves that there is a complete and utter disregard for traffic flow, children's safety (it's a narrow much-used walkway for children attending school) and environmental/wildlife issues.
Permitted parking (reasonably required by residents) create bottlenecks and traffic is brought to a standstill.

Traffic is already an issue on these roads and I object to building on Green Belt land.

Furthermore, we are constantly encouraged to take the country air for our mental and physical health. Turner Lane, in particular, and Moor Lane are well used by dog walkers which is currently done in safety and peace.

I am also concerned about the natural habitat. Curlew’s nest and forage at site AD6 which would are protected by the South and North Pennine Special Protection Areas; building here would impact on their population.

Narrow road access to school.

No businesses in the village to provide increase to local employment. Commuters drive to Ilkley and park to use the station. Ilkley is lacking in long period parking provision.
Schools - inadequate.
Extra healthcare facilities needed.
Impact on fauna and wildlife, deers birds such as owls, curlews, otters, loss of greenfields.
Need to reduce carbon footprint.
Site AD6/H, would mean access would filter through Turner Lane, Manor Park Drive and Manor Drive culminating at the junction of Old Skipton Road and Silsden Road at the junction near to the Craven Heifer. This junction would need considerable alterations particularly for any vehicle turning up Silsden Road, the alternative is excess traffic down the Main Street
