there are other brown sites more suitable for houses.

There is no way Thornton can handle housing on this scale. Why are we considered in the 'Glenrothes area' anyway - we have a Kirkcaldy post code! I'm sure this farm could be sold as farm business if the farmer doesn't want it. Does profiteering, greed and corruption come to mind? I find it strange that only one councillor seems to be supporting our cause. Where are the rest they're supposed to represent the public! The silence is deafening.

We could see the point if it was council houses but this only a small part of the case, no consideration for enlarging the amenities in the area i.e schooling, doctors etc. Yes time moves on but if we don't keep our villages then we lose an integral part of the scottish way of life.

The place is a dump and the last thing it needs is more housing taking away from what little of nature remains around Thornton.

Turning Thornton into another concrete jungle to satisfy developers greed is not on.

What about tearing down some of the squalor's around Glenrothes and building more adequate housing in their place?.......much better idea.

It has always been a village but if you continue to destroy local green areas surrounding it will become no more than an area of Glenrothes. Unfortunately it does not have facilities to cope with an influx of people and you are are destroying the property values of families on the edge of the village who have been part of the Thornton community facilities or generations. Not enough consideration had been put in by the council if they believe this proposal to be a viable option.

Safe in the knowledge that as a "village" everyone knew everyone! We all looked after each other. Turn that into a town or larger takes away that safety net, takes away the Identity of what village life is all about. Whilst I understand the need for housing we MUST also respect the fabric of society, the landscape and it's people!
THORNTON HAS BEEN SLOWLY STRIPPED OVER THE YEARS AS IT'S STATUS AS A "VILLAGE" AND THIS HAS TO STOP!

The people who already live here - and possibly those who may want to live here in the future - would need to have the knowledge that their needs would be fully considered, whether it be personal (community services and facilities) or physical (the safety of traffic systems drainage and education etc. Thornton is a village. It's so important that it remains so.

The volume of traffic during these times causes a lot of delays along the high street. With the addition of new council properties the volume of traffic is sure to increase and with that the likelihood of accidents and complete gridlock within the village is inevitable.
