Yes, it's a huge posh development and I was stuck in traffic there today where the road is up to lay sewers. The biggest impact though if an early right turn after departure would be the western end of Otley on both sides of the river and the villages to the North of the river between Otley and Ilkley. Not a huge population unless you include sheep, but they'll still make a noise if they get overflying where previously there was none. An early left turn off 32 would be of no use as it would bring flights over Guiseley and the High Royds community. Far more population there (but less sheep).Indeed - lived in BiW for several years beneath the approach for 14 and climb out 32 and whilst I suppose any noise I heard was mitigated by the fact that I'm an aviation enthusiast it really wasn't that intrusive at all. The 'stopping conversations' comment is complete and utter rubbish to the point of untruth! There is an horrendous amount of house/flat building going on between BiW and Ilkley and soon it will be very difficult indeed to find a route that doesn't impact someone.
