• The proposed housing will increase the number of children living in the village - there's no mention about increasing the school capacity to accommodate these new families. The primary school is already struggling to accommodate all the village children. Ilkley grammar school is already operating at full capacity and has already had to limit the catchment area in order to manage numbers.

• The proposed developments will significantly increase the traffic down moor lane, increasing pollution and making it more dangerous for our children.

• These proposed developments are around 1 mile from the village centre so most people would drive rather than walk to the village amenities which will also increase air and noise pollution.

• There are also concerns raised about the drainage around moor lane and increasing the floodrisk.

• As a small village with poor transport links i.e. no train station we appear to have been allocated a huge number of houses compared to surrounding towns/area with better transport links.
