I am concerned about the effects of the development of site IL/1 H upon the stated aim of promoting the well-being and positive experiences of living, working and visiting Ilkley. The irreversible allocation for housing of this greenbelt land will significantly alter the green, 'leafy' and 'semi-rural' feel which is so attractive to the many hundreds of walkers who use Ben Rhydding Drive as an attractive and rural route from the town up to the Burley end of the moor. Building development will push back the rural boundary of the moor, so attractive for runners, walkers and cyclists right up to the top of Ben Rhydding Drive and will completely destroy the current rural feel of this access route to Ilkley's most precious and most frequented amenity.
