Site IL4/H (SLA Ref IL/033)

Agree in the main with the Sustainability Assessment for this site however given the increase in the number and severity of severe flooding incidents and risk of water pollution over recent years consider 4 – Climate change resilience and 5 – Water resources need revising to become major negative effects. The baseline trend has been recognised as declining however due to the impact of climate change this trend has arguably become stronger.

Due to limited car parking facilities further caution is expressed about even sensitive development of this to prevent further adverse effects to 13 – Social cohesion.

Due to major adverse effects on the Ilkley Conservation Area, Old Bridge Scheduled Monument, major and minor adverse effects on natural themed indicators including recent flooding incidents and adverse effects on social cohesion due to limited parking and air quality.
