CEG welcomes and fully supports the identification of the site to the west of Burley-in Wharfedale (SLA:BU/001) as a preferred allocation for housing under site reference BU1/H: Sun Lane / Ilkley Road.

The allocation of the site is both a logical and an inevitable outcome of the fact that the Council has consistently supported its proposed development for 500 homes, a school and associated community facilities (application reference 16/07870/MAO).
Following a resolution by CBMDC to grant planning permission in line with Officers’ recommendations, the planning application was subject to a call-in inquiry held in May 2019, and planning permission ultimately granted in by the Secretary of State on 3rd March 2021.

The draft allocation, supporting text and evidence base relevant to site BU1/H: Sun Lane/Ilkley Road has been referred to and appended to the representations at Appendix 2. The Secretary of State’s decision and the accompanying Inspector’s Report to which much of this assessment cross-refers is included at Appendix 3.
