I oppose the inclusion of this site and the change to the settlement boundary, as it was done without proper consultation and risks damaging the village's heritage. Additional development would increase traffic, worsen existing infrastructure issues, and threaten safety due to the lack of local facilities and public transport. Vehicle entry and exit via the A48 is highly dangerous and this will only intensify if additional vehicles are introduced as a result of further development. The site’s removal of prime agricultural land also undermines local food production. I believe such development would harm the village’s character and show a disregard for residents' wellbeing.
Q1: Site ID 4069 East of Colwinston
The redrawing of the Village Settlement Boundary by the Vale of Glamorgan Council in order to include this site in the LDP proposals without due consultation is undemocratic and legally questionable.
Further development will cause major change and irreversible damage to the village heritage status.
There is a lack of village and local facilities to support additional houses.
The village lacks any form of public transport with the nearest public bus stop being situated circa one mile away on the A48 accessed by having to walk country lanes that lack pavements and risk the danger of having to use the lanes frequented by vehicles entering and leaving the village. Crossing the A48 for buses travelling east is highly dangerous.
An additional 25 house development will increase the car traffic within the village by a minimum of 50 car journeys daily.
Currently the village lanes are incapable of coping with the existing traffic flow.
Vehicle entry and exit via the A48 is highly dangerous and can only be more dangerous if additional vehicles are introduced as a result of further development.
The proposed site removes prime agricultural land from being used in food production at a time when the VOGC should be supporting the farming industry in the area.
For all the above reasons the inclusion of this proposed site in the LDP would further damage a beautiful rural village and be further evidence that our local council has little regard to the well being of the rural Vale and its residents.
