1. Flooding risks - there are already major flooding issues within the land off Skipton Road, resulting in severe recent disruption.
2. Increase in volume of traffic - the A65 is already a major traffic route which is often heavily congested. Further development on Skipton Road will cause further traffic build up, more congestion and greater pollution through Ilkley.
4. Ben Rhydding and Ilkley sewage sites are already stretched and unable to deal with current capacity, regularly overflowing.
5. School Capacity - the one secondary school serving the whole area is already running at capacity
6. Additional building - the proposals fail to take into account the developments that have been taking place and are already planned (approx 30 per year recently in Ilkley).
