Access track is not suitable for vehicular access even with improvements which would mean encroaching on adjacent green belt field.
30 houses plus 11 on lower field on a sloping site which does have run off water from hill Top road, not suitable no public transport other than 1 bus per hour. increase in use of Hill Top Road for car ownership junction at James street and Hill top already too narrow and difficulties in Winter, other access is towards Keelham with a school, already too busy with omega lorries and build up of traffic. traditional historic houses around in black face stone, would any potential build be in keeping?
Have the council considered other brown field areas in the village, the question is why has Thornton had an allocation of 600 plus houses, when all other south pennine villages have far fewer numbers! It will be a small town.
