•Ample brownfield sites available elsewhere in the region. No need to build on Green Belt land.
•Already allowed for a substantial and grotesque development in Burley, which will close the gap between Ilkley and Burley. Your plans for Ilkley will compound this urban sprawl, something that central government is against.
•There are practical issues that you seem to be ignoring. School capacity is already under strain and will not support the additional population.
•Traffic volumes are already far too high. The recent development in Burley will compound this as it is. Further developments in Ilkley will raise traffic volumes to an unacceptable level of congestion.
•The above point will compound existing issues with parking availability
The fact that Bradford Council will happily destroy green belt land in the face of climate change (and all the challenges that presents) is baffling. The fact it does so in an area that already faces significant infrastructure challenges, amounts to negligence.
