Respondent: The Great Northern Railway Trail Development Group

TH8/HC - Site allocation of land west of Thornton for 250 dwellings. This site needs to link directly to the route of the Great Northern Railway Trail in accordance with strategic policies on sustainable travel. This is an opportunity to follow through with investment in infrastructure as an essential part of the housing scheme. This site is the largest of the site allocations in Thornton and would be isolated from the rest of the village. It is crucial that a sustainable travel route is established using the Trail.
We made this key point was made when the planning application was discussed at committee. Again, Bradford planners failed to recognise the importance of the Trail in considering this planning application.
