The Principals of Policy SP9 are supported. However, they have not been carried forward into the draft allocations: allocating significant numbers of housing for Addingham, which is identified as not being as sustainable as the Principal towns, the Growth Centres or the City of Bradford, does not make any sense in relation to this policy. Allocating lots of housing here will not help to get emissions to net zero, as most trips for work are carried out in private cars, and trips to the supermarket are likely to be carried out by car. Allocating sites to the western end of Addingham is also exacerbating this as it is the least sustainable part of the village, being furthest from all of the facilities and services in the centre.

Whilst this policy is supported, an objection is made as some of the allocations to the west of Addingham have been made despite the land not being available for development. Further details are set out in the attached report, including a letter from a landowner indicating that the land will not be available for development. It is therefore not possible to demonstrate that there will be a 5 year housing supply if some of the housing anticipated to come forward in years 0 - 5 is not available for development.
