Respondent: Ilkley Town Council

Previously Developed Land

If the Council were to provide for the 35% uplift (around 10,000 homes) in a way that fulfils the expected urban centre focus, this would amount to a significant shift in the spatial distribution of housing towards the urban centre. By implication, this suggests that the current 50% brownfield target for the district does not reflect the total amount of brownfield land across the district, but rather that the Council has chosen to distribute development to the other levels of the settlement hierarchy in a way it considers reflects the development needs of the other settlements, but does not necessarily maximize the district-wide use of brownfield land.
