Respondent: Burley Bridge Association

Burley in Wharfedale should not be categorised as a local growth centre. It has almost no employment (largest employers are the schools and the Co-op!). Given that it was earlier described as a local service centre, it feels as if the categorisation has been switched in order to take advantage of available sites, with the two which are set out here both in the greenbelt.

The number of houses proposed in Burley is out of proportion to the size of the village. The infrastructure will not be able to cope. There is a major concern about the volume of extra cars and the Wharfedale Greenway, whilst very welcome, is a very poor mitigation. Secondary school places do not appear to be addressed in the plan.
