Representation ID: 21777

Received: 23/03/2021

Respondent: Simon & Bernice Talbot

Number of people: 2

Representation Summary:

Silsden seems to have been allocated a bigger proportion of houses to find than some other areas.

Your plan seems to have neglected the willows development in your calculations.

Housing which is taking place / planned appears not to be aimed at lower paid workers.

You have also used a lower density factor for the proposed developments than that your policy states of 35 units per hectare.

There are no proposals to ease congestion along Keighley Road to Bolton Road.

Because of previous developments it seems unlikely that any bypass round Silsden will be almost impossible by the geography of Silsden and rash planning decisions which have been made in the past.

Silsden has a thriving tourist trade as a centre for walking, cycling and touring along the canal. There is v little parking for such tourists and the proposals will worsen this.
