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 AD/5. Chapel Street is narrow and access to the site from the side of the village school would have to be improved. Nothing is stated about the narrowness of Bolton Road from Main Street (Crown pub junction) to the school and extra traffic would have on a Nursery School on Bolton Road and the school itself.
