With only minor positive effects predicted for the development of this site, I don't see the value in removing a large, accessible green belt area from a quiet end of Ilkley in order to introduce a major development in an unsuitable location. There are a significant amount of homes to the west of the site already and the additional stresses on the road network in the morning and evening will inevitably cause congestion further down the road towards Ben Rhydding station, not to mention the effects of increasing traffic flow by 130 cars into and out of the locality every day which would be polluting both environmentally and with respect to noise. The site slopes significantly and has numerous features that make it unruly in terms of development. The disruption to residents, and potentially wildlife, in the immediate area and beyond would be significant, prolonged and damaging. I object strongly.
