Large impact on traffic in this area - not just from new residents and their vehicles, but visitors e.g. couriers (increased useage of online shopping etc). Local school provision/ medical provision would have to be increased. Impact generally on air quality - air despite drive for cleaner cars there is also likely to be an increase in air traffic caused by developments at airport (post covid), subsequently air quality in the Wharfedale Valley would be impacted. The village would start to lose it's character - more shops to meet demand would lead to possibility to the attraction of a large supermarket Real danger of creating unnecessary urban sprawl. Traffic to surrounding towns would lead to congestion at peak times, particularly Ilkley which is already over subscribed as a town with inadequate traffic amenities.
