There is no significant justification why green belt land is proposed and plans are hugely disproportionate against Ilkley.

The Council states the three sites as either having moderate or major impact on the green belt.

The sites would reduce the separation between neighbouring towns and create a ‘Wharfedale corridor’ of development.

The proposals would significantly change the character of the town and the surround areas including removal of fields between Burley and Ilkely.

Three sites have significant existing flooding risks.

The proposals go completely against the defined local plan to protect the local environment.

IGS is already operating at capacity.

Developments in the last few years not taken into account.
