This site is not easily accessible, is in excess of one mile away from any local amenities including the local school which will result in increased traffic and carbon emissions. Drainage is inadequate and cannot already cope with the current housing set. Burst pipes and surface flooding are common. Local employment opportunities are limited resulting in necessary travel to local towns are further afield. Due to the poor transport links like many people already do it is likely that new householders will drive again affecting carbon emissions etc. This site is also a huge wildlife center for the village which will be adversely impacted by any development. Locals school are already oversubscribes in particular Ilkley Grammar which does not have the funding or capacity to expand. This year saw only 2 spare places in years 7 I fail to see how it can support these developments.
