Hill Top Road is a walking route for the local community additonal housing would increase the traffic and therefore be a saety issue .Thornton medical centre and school is already unable to cope with the number of residents in the local area all the additional housing would put additional strain on an already limited resource .

This will spoil a beautiful section of the Bronte Way. If you allow this and adjacent sites to be built then the whole area will become a huge housing development and the rural setting will be lost forever. Thornton will become part of Bradford's urban sprawl and all hopes of Thornton reclaiming it's village identity will be lost.

The site is currently designated as Green Belt.
• The Bronte Way public footpath, which is a draw for tourists and has high cultural significance, runs along the south of the site.
• Development of the site would have a moderate impact on the landscape.
• The site is within a Green Infrastructure Corridor.
• The site is located within the 7km buffer of the SPA/SAC.
• Moderate slope north to south.
• Site has poor accessibility due to poor bus services, steep topography and distance to some local services.
The impact would not be moderate.

Increased risk of water run off affecting lower buildings and roads lower due to reduced capacity of land to absorb water.
Proximity to protected habitats. Negative impact of increased footfall and traffic.
Increase in traffic leading to traffic log jams, particularly at peak times and during road works and bad weather.
Inability of local infrastructure; roads, schools, doctors, dentist, public transportation and limited leisure facilities to cope with any increase in demand.
Destruction of unique character and heritage of village.
Unnecessary destruction of green field/belt when should be developing empty properties and brown field and derelict sites first.
Negative impact on local economy as village less attractive to visitors, particularly walkers.
Reducing village to 'commuter' belt where majority of new residents are not actively engaged in the community.
Increased threat to livestock from 'out of control' dogs. Increased volume of dog faeces fouling local footpaths, pavements and other habitats.

Sites; TH1/HC, TH9/H, TH10/H, TH11/H
Stated in your plan as separate sites - they are in fact in very close proximity and border each other. There would be a housing estate of 118 houses.
These sites, in combination with the others proposed, will create 3 large new housing estates and adversely affect the character of Thornton Village, which is listed in the RUDP, 12.43 & Policy NE3.
They will change the landscape of a rural village, turning it instead into a large housing estate.
Alongside the damage that will be done to the village, no consideration has been given to the impact of the current residents. Local GP surgeries are already at capacity, local schools are also at capacity and traffic already an issue during rush hour.

Site in Flood Zone 1 ONLY
Mitigation should be set above the 1 in 100 plus cc level for the site as suitable for the proposed vulnerability classification (EA standing advice should cover this).
If the site is considered Greenfield then surface water discharge rates post development should be restricted to the pre development Greenfield discharge rate. If the site is considered Brownfield then there should be a 30% reduction in surface water discharges, or restricted to Greenfield rates, there should be no increase in brownfield surface water discharge rates post development. So as to support prevention of cumulative increases to flood risk and should be in line with SuDs design principles.
For developments near ordinary watercourses we would recommend an 8 metre easement strip along the length of the riverbank, or a 45degree angle from the bed in the case of culverts, to be kept clear of permanent structures such as buildings. This is to maintain access to the riverbank for any improvements or maintenance. A Flood Defence Consent may be required for the LLFA for works in/affecting an ordinary watercourse.
For main rivers, we generally require an 8 metre easement strip along the length of the riverbank to be kept clear of permanent structures such as buildings, or a 45degree angle from the bed in the case of culverts. This is to maintain access to the riverbank for any improvements or maintenance. Environmental Flood Risk Activity Permits may be required for development near rivers.
It is possible the sites within close proximity to Flood Zones 3b, 3 and 2 may be subject to future risk identified within the SFRA (to follow) which may affect its allocation or how development should be sequentially laid out on the site.
Consideration must be made to making space for water and providing betterment in terms of flood risk management where ever possible.

The site is located opposite a Grade II listed terrace along Hill Top Road. Several other Grade II Listed Buildings are in the vicinity of the site. The development of this area could harm elements which contribute to the significance of these designated heritage assets.
See attachment for full representation.
Before allocating this site for development:
(1) An assessment needs to be undertaken of the contribution which this site makes to those elements which contribute towards the significance of the Listed Buildings in its vicinity, and what impact the loss of this undeveloped site and its subsequent development might have upon their significance.
(2) If it is considered that the development of this site would harm elements which contribute to the significance of the Listed Buildings, then the measures by which that harm might be removed or reduced need to be effectively tied into the Plan.
(3) If, at the end of the process, it is concluded that the development would still be likely to harm elements which contribute to the significance of these Listed Buildings, then this site should not be allocated unless there are clear public benefits that outweigh the harm (as is
required by NPPF, Paragraph 195 or 196).

General Comment: Steeply sloping site with access constraint, poorly related to village, adjacent to
listed building. PROW crosses site.
Draft Local Plan Estimated Gross Capacity: 27
Evidence Based Conclusion On Suitability & Capacity: NIL dwelling capacity due to access constraint, sloping site and unsustainable location.
