I am writing to object to the ludicrously high amount of new housing development in Silsden as it is disproportionately high in comparison to current population.

You cannot keep developing greenfield sites, it is not good for the environment for one, and just encourages commuters into the area. Remember it is not easy to get to the station with it being the other side of the dual carriageway.

Priority should be given to developing brownfield sites both in this area, and others, and not allowing these large housing developers to erect ugly 'beige' estates.

Transport links are not great in Silsden, and the type of development is encouraging multi car households. Silsden also does not have road, health or school infrastructure to support. Even the site of the new school is rubbish, clogging up residential areas.
