Ilkley does not have the infrastructure to support 300 homes (5%)
All but 9 of the 314 homes are in the green belt - this would have a negative impact on openness and sprawl
The proposals will damage the character of the town and make the town less attractive to visitors
Ilkleys landscape is sensitive to change particularly the SSSI
The land is important for managing flood risk - development will increase risk elsewhere
Ilkley needs jobs not housing
Increased pressure on public transport, parking, school places and health services
River Wharfe and moorland is a site of wildlife importance- negative impacts if 300 homes built
