In summary therefore the development of this site for residential purposes is not considered to be a suitable, available or deliverable option on the grounds of land ownership, access, housing need and Green Belt considerations and I strongly object to the proposals for any residential development on the site. There is a restriction on title constraining the subject site to use as grazing land, there is no viable access solution and the site meets 3 of the 5 Green Belt criteria with no exceptional circumstances for Green Belt release. With the development in Sun lane and Burley Mill, I feel the infrastructure of the village will not be able to cope, e.g. secondary school education where Ilkley Grammar is already under pressure with numbers, as is medical provision at Grange Park Surgery. I would strongly ask the Council to concentrate on brown field sites rather than green belt sites.
