Larger towns should take a larger share of developments/ Where are the sites in Barry, Penarth, Cowbridge, Llantwit Major? Larger towns will have a larger amount of brownfield development land - eg Barry Docks, Llandow. There is ample space for smaller better integrated developments in the rural vale that could be done without massive community upheaval and environmental damage.

Why are smaller communities taking the brunt of this housing drive. 1000's of houses in Rhoose, St Athan etc. Destroys community cohesion and identity and turns small communities in the Vale into identikit commuter deserts. Creating large high density (previously greenfield) estates to satisfy developers and the Authority's wish for higher planning gain should not take preference over brownfield sites in larger towns where more high rise could be considered to maximise numbers (like Cardiff & Cardiff Bay.
