•Will adequate infrastructure, both physical/service, be improved to deal with increase in population?
•GP services already under pressure. Only one dentist offering NHS treatment.
•Traffic/parking already at absurd levels. Town confined to narrow valley bisected by one major route.
•Adding extra vehicles will cause further problems.
•Education capacity in Ilkley is inadequate with some children travelling to Menston.
•Traffic will increase due to development. Only other route out of these sites is via the Wheatley Lane continuation of Bolling Road towards Valley Road or the traffic lights at the A65/Bolling Road junction.
• Bolling Road is a residential street. It suffers from speeding problems, congestion and parking problems. Traffic collisions occur at the intersection with Manley Road.
•Will drainage be able to cope with runoff from IL1/H and IL3/H?
•Both currently absorb and slow runoff from the moor, protecting the A65 lower down. Concreting the valley sides during a period of global warming is plain stupid.
