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.
AD7/H access from Silsden Road be too near to the roundabout at the junction of Silsden Road and the top of the Addingham bypass. Alternative access into Turner Lane would create excessive traffic culminating at the junction of Old Skipton Road/Silsden Road at the junction near to the Craven Heifer. This junction would need considerable alterations.
