Respondent: Mark Wogden

The underlying case for Silsden being designated as a local growth centre has not been proved; there is a misunderstanding of the reality of its transport links as well as the capacity of other infrastructure. It appears that the town is still, despite a reduced target, bearing the brunt of the plan’s housing allocation. It seems it has been given this huge target by default because it is surrounded by easily developable green fields, rather than because of local housing need.
