I am a resident of Ilkley and am making clear my objection to the proposed housing development in Ilkley and Ben Rhydding.

The 3 largest proposed areas for building and development are on designated GREEN BELT land. Why? Why? Why?
These GREEN BELT lands must remain just what they are GREEN!

Ilkley is a beautiful town on the outskirts of The Yorkshire Dales and attracts many visitors because it is surrounded by natural scenic Moors , fields and the Wharfe River. Building more homes on the surrounding Green Belt will spoil the natural beauty of the area.

And needless to say adding a further 314 new homes to the area will just add to the already crowded roads, schools, health centre and general infrastructure of the town.
