Happy to agree with the use of existing brown field and non-agricultural land for building but very unhappy about further encroachment upon greenfield land:

Reference IL3/H - Coutances Way (155 dwellings on greenfield land).

Reference IL1/H - Ben Rhydding Drive, Wheatley Grove (130 dwellings on greenfield land).

With the other 2 proposed sites in Ilkley (IL2H Skipton Road East and IL4/H Stockheld Road) this makes a total of 314 additional dwellings in Ilkley/Ben Rhydding comprising approximately 1200 additional people of which approximately 600 will require schooling. What are the proposed infrastructure plans to support this.

What is the point of designating land as ‘green field’ if you can change the designation whenever you like!! It’s disgraceful. Ilkley is a separate entity on the River Wharfe but if you have your way it will be a ribbon development stretching almost from Otley. Where will this end and when will it stop.
