•The protection of Green Belt land is enshrined in planning documents.
•Green Belt land should only be used as a last resort in "exceptional circumstances".
•No evidence provided for the proposed development sites in Ilkley. There is no legal standing to take this action. It defies logic that you cannot find suitable brownfield sites to allow 300 plus houses to be built in the next 17years.
•No provision for the addition traffic;
•Demand for GP services would increase;
•Ilkley Grammar is over-subscribed;
•Additional school support and other essential services would be stretched.
•Ilkley centre and A65 are already a traffic bottlenecks, current air quality is poor in summer and this proposal would make the situation worse.
•The number of brownfield sites in Bradford, must be substantial, given the historic "Mill/industrial sites" now standing derelict/un-used.
•The Council should re-consider these proposals and leave the Greenfield sites alone.
