I support the settlement hierarchy and the idea behind it. I am very pleased at the effort to remove many Green Belt and greenfield sites from the Plan and, in Silsden, the fact that Bolton Road allotments and the field behind the Hive have been allocated as Open Space. However, there should be more honesty about the fact that the decision not to relate development to population size will have a significant impact on the character and community cohesion of Silsden and Burley. And in Silsden there are no plans to create recreational space for children despite the building of upwards of 300 houses on the canal side of the village and the intention stated in this policy.
