Housing Distribution - Ilkley

I am in support of the planning for housing development in Ilkley.

I would urge plans to include more affordable housing for young families and no more retirement flats as the age balance in Ilkley for retired/pensioners is almost double the national average at 20%.

It is extremely difficult for young people who have grown up here to afford to live here as adults, mostly impossible.
It seems unfair to me that they are priced out of the market in their home towns.
