I would like to strongly object to the proposed new site for the erection of 250 new houses on Cardiff Road at Eastbrook. I am not a "Dog in the Manger" but common sense and past experience have taught me that everything has a limit. I have lived in my current house for sixty four years. In 1962, Murch crescent was a cul-de-sac until Murch road having a lane access to the Sully Road just-beyond, allowing traffic exit and entrance to that part of Dinas; an alternative to the Cardiff Road, well used at that at the time. It was closed when the secondary school was built on the site of the old farm, and Murch Crescent was opened to allow access for traffic large and small. Eventually, I noticed an increased an increase in the amount of water accumulating in my drive and back garden during rainfall. Since the school was re-moved and a housing development replaced it, against the wishes of the community, it has further increased. This development naturally brought increased traffic using the only access road to and from the development. I know you cannot do anything about parked cars on the hill but I take my life in my hands every time I need to leave my house by car as cars coming up the hill cannot see me and ignore the 20mph limit. More houses in the crescent have two cars or more. Some are parked on some drives, others are permanently on the road on both sides. We also now have a regular bus service, once an hour to Cardiff and Penarth from the medical centre. The Cardiff Road between Llandough and Dinas is a bottle neck at all times of the day in spite of the fact that it is the only road serving the hospital and all points to Barry Island and neighbourhoods. I full agree with the points raised against the proposed development i.e
1) Increased congestion 2) Increased possibility of looking to certain areas of Dinas Powys 3) Doctors and Schools already at capacity. 4) Loss of wildlife. 5) Reduced travel time through the village in both directions most days. 6) Reduced greenbelt areas further.
I will conclude with the statement that my quality of life now, is not what it was when I arrived here in November 1962
