Draft Bradford District Local Plan - Preferred Options (Regulation 18) February 2021

Representation ID: 13358

Received: 24/03/2021

Respondent: Jac Morton

Representation Summary:

Sites; TH1/HC, TH9/H, TH10/H, TH11/H

Stated in your plan as separate sites - they are in fact in very close proximity and border each other. There would be a housing estate of 118 houses.

These sites, in combination with the others proposed, will create 3 large new housing estates and adversely affect the character of Thornton Village, which is listed in the RUDP, 12.43 & Policy NE3.

They will change the landscape of a rural village, turning it instead into a large housing estate.

Alongside the damage that will be done to the village, no consideration has been given to the impact of the current residents. Local GP surgeries are already at capacity, local schools are also at capacity and traffic already an issue during rush hour.
