I understand the need for more housing and particularly affordable housing within Ilkley and don't object to all of this policy or to all of the sites proposed.
I object to site IL3/H Coutances Way becoming housing because:
-it is prone to flooding
- this green belt provides good visual benefit to the majority of people because it is so visible from major roads and the railway
- this land could be improved as green belt - nature, habitat & soaking up rainfall by adding some more plants/shrubs in hedges and a few trees.
I agree there is a need for more car parking near Ben Rhydding station and a small part of IL3/H with a safe entrance off Wheatley Lane with good visibility for cars and people could usefully do this & reduce irritation for local residents because there is no other site for a car park nearby.
