I wish to object to the proposed house building on green belt land in Ilkley for the following reasons:
1. There are brown field sites in Bradford which could be used instead.
2. The areas provide refuge for wildlife including curlews which will be gone forever if built on.
3. Ilkley and Ben Rhydding sewage works cannot cope with current amounts of waste and most days of the year allow waste to overflow into the river.
4. The only secondary school is oversubscribed and has no capacity to expand.
5. The area is one of natural beauty which will be eroded by building hundreds of houses on green belt land.
6. Green belt was designated as such for a reason which should be respected.
