I object to the proposals for IL1/H, IL2/H and IL3/H.

These all involve the taking of green belt for which the 'exceptional circumstances' required have not been subtantiated.
Arrangments for improvements/expansions to infrastructure are not articulated, and indeed may not be possible especailly transport (road capacity, train capacity) and number of places at Ilkley Grammar School.

In the case of IL1/H and especially IL3/H, development would propmote the merging of Ilkley with Burley in Wharfedale. These are distinct communities - with Burley in Wharfedale already having suffered the appalling blow that the planned massive housing estate at land on Sun Lane will be, and whch will doubtless lean on all of Ilkley's infrastructure too.
