What is the justification for additional houses, when schools/infrastructure are under strain.

What infrastructure is proposed for additional housing/people/traffic:
Sewage facilities - water treatment plant in Ilkley is already unable to cope.
Schooling
Flood prevention
Additional parking needs at train stations.
Additional medical facilities needed.

Justification for building on green belt land, where planning applications previously denied.

Council Tax increases
No major improvements in Ilkley, alot of the work is done by volunteers keeping the riverside and areas of Ilkley clean/tidy.
How Will Bradford council retain the integrity and beauty of these small places.

Protection of Green Belt land was in Conservative Manifesto, in 2019, the Government pledged to protect Green Belt land and continue to pursue a brownfield first strategy

How many trees are proposed to be felled for each site?

What brownfield sites were considered as an alternative
and reasons for not using brownfield sites
