Building on this site will add to the drainage and surface water run off problems in this area. With no where to go water will continue to flow down moor land and moor park drive. The current drainage has proved inadequate in recent years with a torrent regularly running down the roads and dangerously forming as ice in winter. The site has poor transport links for commuters results in more cars on the roads and continuing to clog up parking issues in ilkley. Employment opportunities in the village are scare and with unregular and unreliable buses and no train station there will be increased cars on the roads, more traffic, congestion, pollution and carbon emissions. Proximity to local amenities is also an issue over a mile up hill which will necessitate many people driving. What retail does exist is limited and therefore travelling to local towns is necessary.
