Comments to specific paragraphs to strategy sections summarised by Local Plan Team
5.13.2 There is no bus service to Skipton!
5.13.3 Several hundred houses have been built in Silsden since 2011
5.13.5 Most of the population are commuters and therefore further development will increase air pollution as people work elsewhere.
5.13.12 The definition “Can cause traffic congestion at peak times” is a gross understatement, pre lock down during peak times, queues often stretched back to the A629, and up to the Reservoir on Cringles.
5.13.14 Many people work or attend school or College in Skipton- bus to Skipton is necessary
5.13.15 No Air Quality Management Area (AQMA) or Clean Air Zone (CAZ). The main road has narrow sections which,cause traffic congestion at peak times. Why isn’t Silsden covered by an A.Q.M.A.?
5.13.20. There is a need for affordable homes in Silsden but recent developments have not complied
5.13.36 Most pupils from Silsden go to South Craven School, the wording belittles this
