The Strategy for Thornton is a direct result of your Green Belt policies which I consider to be wrong. They take away green fields within Thornton, creating more housing, while absolutely no housing is allowed within the Green Belt, apart from one ugly "earth house" on Whalley Lane, Denholme. I disagree with the whole policy which prevents any housing in hamlets or along country roads, but at the same time allows 3 houses in the green belt to be converted into one. (at Green Clough, Thornton). There's land at Keelham which could take a few house, and also at Back Height as the Landscape Character SPD suggested. Dwellings in small numbers could be built on other roads, where that is the character of those roads, but not under your policy.
