Draft Bradford District Local Plan - Preferred Options (Regulation 18) February 2021

Representation Summary:
ALTERNATIVE GREEN BELT SITES.
It is not possible to indicate alternative green belt sites to protect Ilkley from over development. The town sits close to the North Yorkshire boundary wherein lies the Nidderdale AONB. To the South is Ilkley Moor, already an SPA and SSSI. Further northwest, but within sight of Ilkley, is the Yorkshire Dales National Park. There is no undesignated greenfield land which could be designated green belt to provide adequate extra protection to Ilkley.
