I am strongly opposed to the housing developments on Green Belt land in Wharfedale, particularly those on Wheatley Grove, Ilkley. That piece of land is a valuable local amenity and building housing on it will destroy the quality of life in Ben Rhydding.

The A65 is already clogged to capacity and further housing will increase traffic. Ilkley Grammar school is already over-subscribed and other infrastructure in Ilkley is inadequate.

Council policy is to improve the environment for cycling and walking. All of these developments will do the opposite.
