This site is incorrectly indicated on the map. The church has confirmed that this does not include any of the church car park which will reduce the size of this site making it below 0.2 hectares and therefore making it to small to be included in this development plan. Correspondence with the church is available on request.

It's a unique site in Ilkley and must not be developed for housing unless the associated vibrant, welcoming and open space is enhanced for the well-being of local and district community, (CSPR 3.18.10:2,4&5) and encourage visitors (economic benefit). The area south of the bridge has a particular sense of place, a river crossing, as one end of Dales Way, for meeting people, with great views of Rombalds Ridge (CSPR 4.10.2 D 1&6). Any housing must be high quality/landmark with minimal impact on people's enjoyment of this space including views to Moor.
As a prime site, benefit to a developer will be large, so any planning consent should be conditional on payment for public realm enhancement. Parking must be off road, road should be developed as green street, to reduce traffic movement, encourage play, walking, cycling.

Whilst this is not designated greenbelt land, it is an undeveloped site within the Ilkley conservation area and should be maintained as such.

Hello -

I’d like to register my opposition to the new developments planned for Ilkley, in particular the 9 dwellings proposed on Stockheld Road (IL4/H). We live up the hill on Alexandra Crescent and just moved in last August. I am familiar with that small patch of land as it’s just around the corner from us, and the notion of squeezing 9 units on to that site is troubling and reeks of greed. This area in particular already suffers from lack of parking, and a general overuse. I shudder to think what it would be like with nine additional dwellings.

To reiterate, I fully oppose this Plan.

The proposed density is 39 dwellings per hectare, the only of the 4 preferred sites exceeding the HO2 stated MINIMUM density of 35 dwellings per hectare. However, the proximity of the site to Ilkley town centre puts the site into the category of "at least 50 dwellings per hectare". 11 dwellings on the site would meet this and could be achieved by incorporating a handful of smaller units within the development. As highlighted in Ilkley Neighbourhood Development Plan (regulation draft 14), with data from the "Let’s Talk About Ilkley" questionnaire survey, the people of Ilkley feel it lacks "starter homes" and "affordable housing". A large proportion of employment in Ilkley is in relatively low paid sectors (care work, hospitality and retail). Providing a balance of property types to allow those on lower incomes to live close to their place or work is a high priority given the climate emergency.

Ilkley Clean River Group (ICRG) object to this plan because of the adverse impact the new houses and supporting infrastructure will have on river water quality.
The combined sewage and drainage system is already overwhelmed and these new buildings will directly lead to a degradation in water quality through more unauthorised sewage discharges directly into the river.
SuDS mitigation plans for run-off water in Ilkley have been shown to be inadequate as there is currently a challenge on the adequacy of these plans at the new Moss & Moor Garden Centre.
Note: the Ilkley sewage system also serves Addingham so we also object to the plans for Addingham and any increase in sewage and run-off will directly lead to more sewage discharges in Ilkley.

Objection to Stockheld Rd Reasons: The river floods yearly and surface run off from additional building will add to that. This area is a conservation area and the Old Packhorse Bridge a national monument so the charm of the area looking back to the Church and the Pennine way will be severely compromised aesthetically and historically. This is one of the reasons Ilkley is so famous and charming, please don't allow that to be eroded. There are not enough parking areas and Bridge Road is a rat run for traffic avoiding the lights on Skipton Road therefore dangerous to Children older people and tourists who will not be familiar with this danger. Infrastructure is under stress re :Schools and Health services already. Finally the semi rural views and tranquilty enjoyed by Middelton Road residents will be impaired and privacy compromised undermine our quality of life and significant financial investment.

It makes no sense to destroy an important and pleasant site situated within a conservation area for the benefit of 9 properties. If we say yes to plans such as this then what is the point of having a conservation area, an AONB, a green belt or a green field? There's a pleasing aspect to the vista as you walk to the park which seems churlish to destroy.

This area always floods, to build houses that are substandard is a waste of money, instead the money for this project could be better utilised in flood support and environmental solutions to support the houses that are already repeatedly stung whenever we've had heavy rainfall.

A development so close to the park also puts young children at risk of solution from the building site.

1Conservation area.
Vistas to and from Old Bridge affected without doubt.

2
Flood plain area.
Environmental Agency"building on a flood plain should be resisted"
Bridge Lane is a high risk surface water flooding area. Many houses have pumps to prevent internal flooding. With insufficient "green space" to absorb the surface water it is a frequent occurence that the drains here overflow flooding the road so that it is impassable. When the river overflows water can reach well into the front gardens.
Concrete replacing soil and more concrete driveways will worsen matters.

3
Parking/pollution
9 houses=18 cars. More traffic. The road at this end is heavily used. School parking and for the nursery and locals walking by the river. This increased usage is not beneficial. Make it into a green space for visitors. Or a green area for teenagers.

More housing development is impacting on the infra structure of Ilkley. Traffic is already busy in this area and our local health care sercies overwhelmed. Ilkley cannot cope with more people and our wildlife suffers as we deplete green spaces.

1. Flooding risks
2. Character of the current area
3. Increase in volume of traffic
4. Ben Rhydding and Ilkley sewage sites are already stretched and unable to deal with current capacity, regularly overflowing.
5. School Capacity - the one secondary school serving the whole area is already running at capacity,
6. Additional building - the proposals fail to take into account the developments that have been taking place and are already planned (approx 30 per year recently in Ilkley).

The plans involve building on green belt land which will destroy the rural nature of the valley and destroy wildlife habitat. The influx of so many new residents will place a substantial strain on, and adversely impact upon local schools, services and amenities.

There are numerous brown field sites in Bradford which could be developed without destroying our precious countryside.

Development proposed on this site will adversely affect the local Conservation Area. The consequent increased inhabitation for Ilkley will place an enormous burden on the town's infrastructure, which is already stretched beyond any designed capacity, especially in terms of primary & secondary school places and health care provision. Ilkley Grammar School, which already caters for pupils outside Ilkley, in neighbouring areas, is bursting at the seams; further additions to its cramped site in the last twenty years have severely limited the outdoor space for pupils.

I object to the building proposal in this area, which is home to much wildlife as well as birdlife. It will destroy local habitat. There are many "brownfield" sites which could be developed without impacting on "greenfield" sites. This will impact on local services and amenities, which are already stretched to the limit. Ilkley Grammar School is already oversubscribed. It will increase the volume of traffic on the nearby A65.

Ilkley's infrastructure is already stretched - schooling, transport and services are not adequate to provide to even more housing in the area. This is an area that local residents and visitors use at weekends and holidays, it often floods and is opposite the historic Old Bridge. The council introduced a parking scheme in Ilkley because of the issues related to parking - this is one of the worst effected areas and adding yet more housing would just exacerbate the issue.
