I cannot believe the enormous number of houses that are proposed. This will totally change the character from a lovely tourist town, to one sea of houses.
Ben Rhydding Drive - 130 dwellings. Do you realise this is the last green belt land used by everybody to exercise and dog walk and for children to play games. These fields are all that are left as an area of outstanding natural beauty, full of trees, wild flowers, horses? and other small animals and birds. Also there is a Roman Road there which must not be destroyed.
There are many sites BROWN in Bradford which could be used for housing without developing the countryside in the Ilkley area.
The schools, doctors, dentists etc cannot now cope with the increased numbers of people that have moved into Ilkley over the past few years , so what will happen in the future?
These plans are not thought through.
