Representation Summary:

This response supports the inclusion of sites TH2/H and TH4/H. Both are capable of supporting relevant elements of the Local Area Strategy including the: -

- Creation of an integrated new community in the Western Thornton Masterplan area.

- Continued protection of important areas of open space such as Thornton Cemetery and Thornton Recreation Ground and seek opportunities to increase provision of parks, play areas and allotments where possible.

- Protection and enhancement of the biodiversity and landscape character of the Pinch Beck Valley, the Great Northern Railway Trail and the Bronte Way and the cultural associations of the Bronte landscape;

- Conserve and enhance the heritage of Thornton

The development considerations contained in the individual Site Details in the Draft Local Plan are achievable.

There are no known viability issues. There are no environmental constraints associated with the site that cannot be dealt with via appropriate design.
