•Lack of consideration to impact on infrastructure. Road network is already extremely busy. These huge developments would add to that.
•A65 is already busy with queuing traffic. Whealtey Road is a complete bottle neck, under the train bridge and junction with Valley Drive are dangerous.
•Train network is average at best.
•These areas are reaching capacity and cannot take extra vehicles.
•Land is Green Belt. Development would become an eyesore and destroy the feel of entering Ilkley.
•Land is home to wildlife and has flooding issues.
•Why are developers being allowed to profit from building homes in unsuitable locations without regard for impact on the community.
•Developers should be held accountable for impact on road network, flooding risk, school capacity, and make substantial contributions to resolve these issues.
•Ilkley Grammar at capacity. Another school should be planned and built concurrently if the houses go ahead.
•IL3/H could be used for a new secondary school.
•Students shouldn’t be expected to travel to Keighley to access school.
•Houses should be built on derelict/brownfield sites.
•Consider creating another car parking level at Tesco to ease current parking issues.
