•How can the council justify building on Green Belt when there are numerous brownfield sites within the District?
•Development at these sites will expand the existing boundary reducing the distance between Addingham and Burley. Will the entire Wharfe valley eventually be joined up?
•There are no plans put forward to increase/expand GP services, schools or local amenities. Existing services already in high demand.
•Has the additional amount of traffic from each new property been factored into the plan?
•Has any regard been paid to the scenic setting of the town?
•Homes at IL2/H and IL3/H will spoil the landscape when entering Ilkley.
•Also the effect on local wildlife and trees in these locations.
•How can the council make these plans (building on green belt, adding to stresses in local services/infrastructure) without having regard to their own policy on maintaining the uniqueness of the town, enforcing strict planning laws and TPOs.
