A PLAN for 38 new houses in Addingham has been given the go-ahead by Bradford Council.
The Council's Regulatory and Appeals Committee granted permission to William Brear And Son Ltd and Mulgrave Properties on Wednesday (November 4) for the development on land at The Acres, subject to a planning agreement.
The planned development includes 11 affordable homes.
There were 11 objections to the scheme, plus seven letters of comment sent to the Council, raising concerns about traffic on nearby Bolton Road, and the shortage of local schools places.
Council officers recommended a Section 106 planning agreement, which would secure money from the development for schools places provision.
At Wednesday's meeting, councillors amended the conditions, agreeing that Addingham Primary School, rather than Silsden Primary School, should have priority.
