Perception that there has been too little consideration of brown field sites which would assist regeneration of areas and a readiness to justify use of Green belt land. There is concern that any consideration is being given to the use of land liable to flooding at whatever level.
IL3/H Coutances Way in Ilkley is liable to flooding.

Proposed measures will put increased pressure on an already challenged traffic system. The proposed size of developments IL1/H and IL3/H would preclude high quality development in keeping with existing properties in the area. (see also representations made to these sites).

Re IL1/H Ben Rhydding Drive releasing a large greenfield site for high density development of housing in an area with low density high quality properties will detract from ambience and amenity of the area.

The above whilst not contiguous with is very close to IL3/H Coutances Way, another large greenfield site for high density development of housing.

Both these developments will put increased pressure on current amenities, communication and traffic flow; the latter includes a narrow single track railway bridge.

The advisability of releasing two greenfield sites for high density housing development in the same area of the town should be reassessed. The proposed two developments will add 285 households, representing 90.8% of the proposed housing developments in Ilkley. This will put enormous pressure on that part of the town and alter the whole ambience of the area.
