The site proposed for development outside of Burley in Wharfedale (at Sun Lane) is both a flood plain and not close by to any rail links, so I would like to see better provision for access to a new rail station or better links to/facilities for parking at Burley in Wharfedale train station. The issue of flood risk needs to be properly considered too, my understanding is that areas that have a significant flood risk should not be built on as they are unsuitable for housing, and a necessary function of the river system.
