Respondent: The Great Northern Railway Trail Development Group

Protection should not just be afforded to biodiversity and landscape character but also to the route of the Trail itself. This needs to offer protection and extension of the Great Northern Railway Trail from its existing open section to the west of Thornton to link with the 250-housing scheme recently approved, in order to provide long-term sustainable infrastructure for recreation, wildlife, and journeys to work and school. This connection needs to be Bradford Council-led, partly using the £20,000 S106 contribution already agreed.
