• 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.

• Location AD5/H is a site very rich in wildlife and by building even one house it will destroy a number of habitats. The access road to this site currently has a low volume of traffic and the school children who walk to school feel safe. However by building houses and therefore increasing vehicle traffic it will increase air/noise pollution and make the road less safe for the children.

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