The proposal is close to Ilkley Moor, an SSSI, and should be removed from the plan. The site retains large amounts of rainwater and streams appear. Another stream forms above Gib Field Farm, flows through Golf Course and then onto this site. This will increase runoff into the Wharfe, increase flooding and closure of the A65. It will add to sewage processing which already overflows into the Wharfe, increasing existing unacceptable pollution.

It proposes unsuitable access from Wheatley Grove. Existing access routes to Wheatley Grove are poor and the additional dwellings would triple traffic. In wintry conditions it also closes to traffic due to ice/snow conditions. 2 occasions in 2021and for a week in 2020. Gritters do not keep the road open.
Ilkley Grammar is at capacity.
(IL1/H) should be removed like other sites have noting “ Green Belt, Landscape, Access or Flooding”. This site is/has all of these attributes.
