SIR – I hope that by now most of your readers are aware of the threat from Bradford Council’s proposals for 1,600 new houses in Wharfedale, 800 of them in Ilkley. We have one final opportunity to do something about this by making representations to the Council before March 31.

The process is rather awkward and the Ben Rhydding Green Belt Protection Group website has now been updated with advice on completing the official form and guidance on many of the relevant issues.

Everything is available in one place, including access to the representations form and the Council’s Local Plan documents.

The website can be found at benrhydding.org, and further assistance is available by e-mailing contact@benrhydding.org.

Andrew Lund, Ben Rhydding Drive, Ilkley
