Respondent: Mr James Bloomer

The proposed allocation of 181 units is too high. No provision is made for additional school demand, both in the village and Ilkley Grammar School. The village is subject to flooding and the new housing will exacerbate the problem. The Chapel Street site has become an area with wide ranging biodiversity which is valuable to the village and should not be disturbed. Provided proper provision is made to protect the environment of the village I have no objection to the Parsons Lane, Turner Lane and Church Street/Main Street sites being developed. Consideration should be given to developing the former garage site on Main Street which is brownfield land and is not on the plan. I object to development of all other proposed sites as they form green land and are important to the village. Where permission is granted development should be affordable housing with full environmental conditions attached
