Housing Distribution - Silsden

I agree with the Preferred Option although I have concerns about not using the Baseline Population Proportion, as mentioned previously. In order to minimise the impact on Silsden and Burley, the settlements where development is most at odds with population size, maximising housing is crucial.
Regarding M, 'The right infrastructure will be provided at the right time' - the right time is BEFORE the houses go up. Road junctions, recreatioinal space for children, sewage, electricity, safe access to railway stations (still not provided in Silsden despite the housing growth and the Council's stated aim of encouraging sustainable travel). If residents could see that the Council took this seriously, there might be less opposition to developments.
