Summary
Question the role of growth centre designation, and key spatial priorities namely post 2015 Core Strategy, no significant jobs growth in these areas to support additional housing numbers.
Climate change, the Pandemic, need to reduce commuting and likely increased internet usage. will add further load on the existing poor infrastructure, for example no employment sites identified in Silsden, and only one in Steeton.
Airedale Hospital is main employer in the region, however the site is now constrained from major expansion due to recently built homes nearby. In addition I understand it is 48th on the list to be re-built due to the method of construction being outdated.
