Respondent: Mr Thomas Lowe

My opposition is very specific and focuses on building houses on the Green Belt in and around Ilkley. Doing so will change the character of the town, which the Council acknowledges is a key part of the town's attraction. Building on the Green Belt is not aligned with the council's and country's commitment to achieving net zero and tackling climate change. At least some parts of the proposal involve building on areas that flood regularly, a situation which is expected to get worse over time owing to the irreversible parts of climate change.
