Delete Site ID 4069 Land East of Colwinston.

I am objecting to the inclusion of grounds Site ID 4069 Land East of Colwinston for the following reasons. Highways: increased levels of car use from the previous housing and primary school development has already adversely affected traffic flows, parking, safe walking and cycling throughout the whole village. The two A48 junctions do not meet current planning requirements. Any improvements to village roads would have unacceptable character changing impacts. Flood risk: There are known drainage and flooding issues in and around this site together with sewerage system capacity connectivity issues with the Cowbridge Wastewater Treatment Works. Overdevelopment: Taken together with recent developments in the village the proposed growth of the settlement is not proportionate to the scale of the historic village and is damaging to its conservation status and community cohesion. It is not supported by evidence of settlement based housing need. Public transport and sustainable travel: This site does not meet transport sustainability objectives. Colwinston lacks direct links to public transport (Greenlinks is an inadequate alternative) and increased traffic from development and the school already compromises safety for walking and cycling.
