Vale of Glamorgan Council

St Athan Community Council requests that the proposed development at Clive Road Field be reconsidered. The Council believes the site should remain as it is and continue to be used as a recreational space for the community. Retaining the field for public use would protect one of the last accessible green spaces in this part of the village and would help reduce additional pressure on local infrastructure and services.

If development is to proceed, the scale of the proposal should be reduced so that a significant portion of the site can remain available for public and recreational use. In addition, consideration should be given to providing a local supermarket or retail facility nearby, as there are currently no shops or services at this end of the village to support an increased population.

St Athan Community Council objects to the proposed development at Clive Road Field. While recognising the need for additional housing, the Council has significant concerns regarding the loss of one of the last accessible green spaces in this part of the village, currently used by residents for recreation and community wellbeing. The proposal would place additional pressure on existing infrastructure, including schools, healthcare services, transport networks, and sewage capacity. This end of the village also lacks local shops or services, increasing reliance on private vehicles. The site’s proximity to the active runway at MOD St Athan also raises suitability concerns. In reiteration, the St Athan community formally objects to the development as proposed.
