I'd like to object to the proposed development of the site North of Dinas Powys, off Cardiff Road. I assume I've got the correct site where 250 new houses are to be developed. Dinas Powys is at capacity both residentially with traffic as well as supporting services. The introduction of 250 new houses, and therefore approx 500 additional cars all feeding down to Cardiff Road, will further cause traffic chaos and even longer delays. The introduction of a new traffic light system on to an already busy road will cause so much more congestion which is concerning not only to the capacity of the village but also for pollution, wildlife and clean air. The road is already a bottle neck for traffic from the village but also the main route from Barry into Cardiff City Centre and the proposed new development offers no plans for filtering or easing traffic or any alternative route. Neither does is make active travelling any easier. The pavements are narrow in places, no cycle route from Barry through the village and a bus lane that's used more by taxis than busses. Flooding is also a concern with the now grazing land being turned into concrete.
