-Disproportionately large number of new houses in Silsden.
-700+ on top of hundreds built in recent years.
-Suggestion allocation should be 400 houses based on Population.
-Sites map doesn’t show recently completed developments and approvals; PP granted for 40 house at The Willows.
-Houses to be of high design standard, a mix of housing types to serve the community. Higher density would reduce the amount of green field sites required.
-The Open Space Assessment (2020) highlights deficits of types of OS. Consideration should be given to increase provision of Natural/Semi-natural Greenspace and Parks and Gardens ref. Hawber Cote fields to the NE.
-Proposed housing to the east of Bolton Road up to Brown Bank Lane should be omitted and returned to greenbelt.
-Site left in allocation despite adjacent area rejected on access, landscape impact and heritage impact.
-The 'settlement boundary' should be redrawn now eastern bypass is no longer fundable CIL.
