Impact on the village community/infrastructure.
Traffic congestion/parking.
Traffic increases from tourists to Bolton Abbey.
Parking on Main Street creates difficulties in navigating through the village especially for buses.
Narrow road access to school.
Welfare of the villagers.
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.
Extra healthcare facilities needed.
Impact on fauna and wildlife, deers birds such as owls, curlews, otters, loss of greenfields.
Need to reduce carbon footprint.
Site AD2/H, would mean access would filter through Turner Lane, Manor Park Drive and Manor Drive culminating at the junction of Old Skipton Road and Silsden Road at the junction near to the Craven Heifer. This junction would need considerable alterations particularly for any vehicle turning up Silsden Road, the alternative is excess traffic down the Main Street
