Housing Distribution - Ilkley

1. We believe that the proposed housing numbers for Ilkley, as the principal local town, are very low at 300. When based on population the requirement is for 756 new dwellings.

300 amounts to only 39% of the requirement.

2. In our opinion the inclusion of site IL/012B as an allocation would provide a further 150 dwellings, giving a total of 450 which represents an improved percentage of nearly 60% of the requirement.

This would increase the supply of affordable homes in Ilkley for which there is a great shortage.
