BDMC have clearly identified all sites, including strategic sites, which are specified and allocated in S5 of the Plan. These are shown in Table 4.14.1 which appears to be incorrect. There is a discrepancy between two sets of data. Why is this and how does this affect the delivery of the housing supply?

Also, no sites other than those delivering >400 houses are scheduled to start delivery before 2027 at the earliest. Many of these sites are close to District and employment centres already adequately served by local infrastructure. This would seem to contradict 4.14.10 and 4.14.11, given it has been acknowledged that in Wharfedale at peak times the services already run at capacity and that upgrading should be considered. Once again BDMC’s policy is to deliver 500 homes in Burley-in-Wharfedale on green belt, rather than taking a brownfield first policy approach.
