I object to plans for housing on Ilkley Site IL4/H which is a greenfield conservation area 30 metres south of the Old Bridge, a scheduled monument and viewpoint. BDMC previously enforced conservation rules to ensure there are “no significant effects in relation to cultural heritage”. This heritage site should be included in BDMC’s Heritage Impact Assessment and rated red. New housing will destroy the character of this important site.
2) Building in Flood zone 1 and 2 will increase run off water when river/becks burst increasing the already significant risk of flooding to existing and new homes.
3) Current severe parking issues on Bridge Lane/Stockeld Road will worsen.
4) Significant new housing quota across Addingham, Ilkley, Burley in Wharfedale is not supported by infrastructure. Particularly Ilkley Grammar School: already over-subscribed and cannot meet the needs of substantial increase in population on its current site.
