Site IL/016

Major error in assessment relating to flood risk. Will be addressed in masterplan. Assessment speculative.
Criterion 4 score should minor or neutral impact.

TPO woodland – only woodland is outside site boundary.

Soil quality will not be depleted.

Water bodies can be accommodated via good drainage/environment practice. Assessment has not looked at the masterplan proposals or recognised the wide protection/environmental corridor contained in them. Rating should be minor negative or neutral or positive (if masterplan is considered).

Criterion 6: description of proposals and environmental enhancements they contain not taken into account.

Criterion 8: setting/proximity of parts of Ilkley & Middleton Conservation Areas can be taken fully into account in detailed design stages. Building groups will set high standards to support new Government policy on beauty. Negative scoring based on supposition.

Criterion 11: 175 to 200 dwellings represents substantial contribution to housing need. More than minor positive contribution.

Criterion 16: development with major recreation, natural and landscape content brings substantial benefit towards health & wellbeing. Counterbalances distance to health facilities. Rating should be neutral.

Criterion 18: no proven loss of agricultural employment - transitional sheep grazing provides part of the employment for one/two people.
