Respondent: Mr Tim Kingsman

Object on three grounds:
Environmental- this is green belt land, with mature trees and number of flora and fauna and close to AONB and within protected zone of SPA.
Insufficient traffic infrastructure- I note that there will no access to The Drive, which I understand as a single track un-adopted road. However the impact of 200 plus vehicles from 130 dwellings will be significant on Wheatley Grove and then Ben Rhydding Road or Wheatley Lane. This must lead to further traffic issues under the railway bridge on Wheatley Lane and then also onto Coutances Way where significant queuing already occurs. This would also exacerbate the issues caused by proposal IL3/H.
Insufficient School and work opportunities: there are already insufficient school places within Ilkley at primary and secondary level and those moving here would not work in Ilkley but would in all likelihood travel to Leeds to work.
