Respondent: Ilkley Town Council

If Ilkley is to be a well-balanced town in population terms it needs more housing suitable for young families, single people, people with special needs, etc.

Ilkley is a town with a high proportion of large and expensive housing, whereas a large proportion of the paid employment is in the low paid sector (retail, hospitality, care work). The housing need therefore is for modestly priced accommodation, not ‘executive homes’.
