Impact on the village community/infrastructure.
Traffic congestion/parking issues through village
on Main Street.
Traffic increases in summer months with tourists to Bolton Abbey.
Properties in Main Street have to park their vehicles on the Main Street creating difficulties in navigating through the village especially for buses.
Narrow road access to school, problems would increase with additional traffic.
Welfare of the villagers.
There are no businesses in the village to provide increase to local employment.
Commuters drive to Ilkley and park to use the station. Ilkley is lacking in long period parking provision.
Schools - inadequate to accommodate additional numbers.
Extra healthcare facilities would be required.
Impact on fauna and wildlife.
Affect on nesting habitat for curlews.
Affect on Otters.
Loss of greenfields
Brownfield sites nearer to more facilities reducing impact on infrastructure should be developed first, helping cut down on their carbon footprint.
Creation of larger connabation leading from Menston down the whole of Wharfedale to Addingham.
