I would urge you to have your say by responding to the East of Otley planning application when it appears shortly.This development of 550 homes is set to be the biggest change for many years and is likely to impact on the town for decades to come in many ways. We want any development to be sustainable, safeguard precious green space residents currently enjoy and to benefit the rest of the town. By the time this is published, the planning application for Phase 1 of the East of Otley development may well have appeared on the Leeds website planning portal. Many residents responded to the informal consultation by East Otley Consortium expressing their concerns in particular over loss of green space. Whether the relief road is really needed post-Covid with more working from home was also questioned.
