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.

-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.

AD6/H is designated green belt and should not be considered as development site.

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.

Wish to object to the proposed new buildings on land at the top of Moor Lane & Turner Lane

Estate is becoming a car park, with drivers not paying attention to 20 mph speed limit. New Houses would mean more cars and become a danger to children and elderly people.

More houses would mean more children. Doubt if the school could cope and Ilkley Grammar School is already over-subscribed.

Have limited services in the village – every journey will be by car. This will increase pollution.

Have had more than our fair share of new homes – more will affect the Green Belt and wildlife.

Another concern is drainage and fear of flooding. Flooding has become a problem.

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.
