This site cannot be developed without a significant negative impact on a) the historic landscape of The Thornton and Clayton Valley and b) destruction to habitat for wildlife and plants. Also, the valley has been used for walking by families during lock-downs and has had a huge benefit to health and well-being during COVID. This area over looks and connects to The Bronte Way and links to the Sus-Trans railway line walk. It would be a great benefit to the health and well-being of the communities in South West Bradford to create a 'Landscape' status of protection throughout the valley, as was the case a couple of decades ago. Nature Trails for families and local schools could be developed with benefits for health, leisure, recreation and education.
