Walters Farm

240

Not suitable for further consideration

Development of the site would have a significant negative impact on a locally designated SINC and have detrimental impact on protected or priority species, habitats, stepping stones or wildlife corridors. The site is poorly related to the existing built form and would represent sporadic development in the countryside.

HMS Cambria*

N/A

Not suitable for further consideration

Ruled out as part of Stage 1 assessment.

Whilst built development exists on site and adjoins it to the north and west, this is associated with existing employment uses at the Atlantic Trading Estate. To the east exists a forested area, which creates a buffer between the site and the Courtlands residential development. The Barry Settlement Boundary exists approximately 250 metres to the north of the site, the two are evidently physically divorced, and employment land at the Hayes Lane employment allocation exists between them. Therefore, and fundamentally, as the site is not within or adjoining a settlement boundary, it is considered to be an inappropriate site for residential development, as set out in national planning policy.

407

Land West of Coed Mawr Road

81

Not suitable for further consideration

The development of this site would be an arbitrary incursion into the countryside in this location. The development of the site would significantly affect a nearby SINC, Ancient Woodlands and SSSI designations. Major highway constraints - the proposed site is unable to provide a suitable and

safe means of access into the development.

420

Land off Port Road

149

Not suitable for further consideration

Ruled out as part of Stage 1 assessment.

The site is located wholly within a CADW Registered Park and Garden and the nature of the proposed development would result in harm to the significance of this designated historic asset. Furthermore, the site is located within the countryside, away from any settlement. It is also, therefore, an unsustainable site that would be inappropriate for residential development, as set out in national planning policy.

450

Hayes Road*

N/A

Not suitable for further consideration

Ruled out as part of Stage 1 assessment.

Whilst employment and residential uses exist within the immediate vicinity of the site, these do not form part of a settlement identified in the existing Settlement Hierarchy, or a rural hamlet/small village. The Sully Settlement Boundary exists approximately 325 metres to the east of the site.

Resultantly, the site is physically divorced from this and there is no physical relationship between the two.

384

Hayes Lane

54

Suitable for further consideration

The site is located adjacent to the Barry Settlement Boundary, which is in the Strategic Growth Area, so this is a location where sustainable growth should be targeted. The site is currently allocated for employment so suitability of the site will depend on an assessment of whether this allocated use is still required in this location.

426

Land at Ffordd Y Mileniwm

56

Suitable for further consideration

Outline Planning application 2020/00775/OUT has been granted subject to a legal agreement. Whilst the site accords with the strategy, it will not be taken forward as an allocation as it is listed as a commitment.

428

Land at North East Barry+

1500 (900 in plan period)

Suitable for further consideration

The site is located adjacent to the Barry Settlement Boundary, which is in the Strategic Growth Area, so this is a location where sustainable growth should be targeted. Whilst separated from the existing settlement by the Link Road, the scale of development offers the opportunity to make significant infrastructure improvements to ensure that this extension to Barry integrates with the existing community.

449

Land at Weycock Cross

180

Suitable for further consideration

The site is located adjacent to the Barry Settlement Boundary, which is in the Strategic Growth Area. The site has been the subject of several planning applications that have been rejected by the Council and most recently subject of a planning appeal.

As the key settlement within the Vale of Glamorgan, as identified in the RLDP settlement hierarchy, the Council

acknowledges that there is a need for further growth in Barry. In this respect the Council has determined that it would be more beneficial to address the housing needs of Barry strategically through the identification of a Key Site at North East Barry, which would deliver circa 1,500 dwellings within the plan period and beyond. This large urban expansion of the town would deliver a wider range of benefits particularly in addressing the high levels of affordable housing present in Barry, and from a placemaking perspective in delivering a mix of uses and infrastructure improvements than would be presented by a developing this site smaller site of circa 180 dwellings. This site would only be required to be considered further if the key sites in the Barry area do not proceed.

459

Land at Pencoedtre

135

Suitable for further consideration

The site is allocated in the adopted LDP and is considered suitable to be 'rolled forward' as an RLDP housing allocation as it is considered to be deliverable and accords with the Strategy.

487

Land at Neptune Road

40

Suitable for further consideration

The site is located within the Barry Settlement Boundary, which is in the Strategic Growth Area, so this is a location where sustainable growth should be targeted. The site is currently allocated for a hotel and B1 offices so suitability of the site will depend on an assessment of whether these allocated uses are still required in this location.

Land off Ffordd Y Mileniwm

339

Suitable for further consideration

Whilst the site is a brownfield site located within the strategic growth area, it is subject to a covenant which restricts the use of the land to employment related developments. Following extensive discussion between the interested parties it was found that the covenant constraints would not enable the uses proposed by the landowner to be realised. Accordingly, it is not possible to consider the site further through the RLDP process for residential use as such a use is not considered to be deliverable.
