In the Specific Green Belt Assessment of site IL/012 it is indicated that Purpose 4 ‘To preserve the setting and special character of the historic town’ has been classified as having a Major impact. There are no views of the historic core from the site. In addition to the distance from the historic core the site is completely screened from any views by the tree lined Hebers Ghyll. This site will not have an impact on the historic core or character of Ilkley. It should be noted the nearest residential properties that can just viewed through the trees alongside Hebers Ghyll are post 1970’s.
The assessment under Purpose 4 should be changed to indicate a Low impact which is important as this affects the overall rating of the site.
