OTLEY people are being urged to have their say on a major housing development for the town. A consultation has been launched on the East of Otley development which includes 550 homes.The scheme has sparked controversy amid concerns over its impact on local green space and infrastructure. Now councillors and the town’s MP are urging residents to make their views known before a planning application is submitted. Town councillor Mick Bradley is encouraging all Otley residents to take part. He said: This is not the formal Leeds consultation, which will follow the planning application, expected late February, but it does provide a useful opportunity, now, to tell the ‘Otley East Consortium’, including the developer, Persimmon and Leeds City Council, what existing residents want and expect from this major development, which eventually will include at least 550 homes.
