IL1/H. A public footpath runs through this site and is well used by residents and visitors alike. The views from the top of the field are exceptional and should housing go ahead would be completely ruined.
The access would be from Wheatley Grove which has a very narrow access at the bottom of the road. The additional traffic would not only affect the environment but would cause traffic chaos and possibly danger particularly at school times.
Green Belt and Pennine moorland landscapes. These areas are visited by many visitors and should building go ahead would deprive visitors to Ilkley of enjoying these areas of natural beauty. In addition there is the effect on the wildlife in the area for example deer, red kites, curlews skylarks, barn owls all of which can often be seen in these areas.
