Testun llawn:
Neither of the sites adjacent to Church Road Llanblethian, Ref 440 and 438, were included in the VoG LDP2021-2026 as both would intrude into the local countryside to an unacceptable degree. There needs to be a good reason to alter this decision. The sites are awkward for walking being hilly and more than 1 mile from the centre of Cowbridge . Also with the greatly increased traffic on the B4270 since commissioning of the Clare Gardens Estate, and the increase in 40 ton stone lorries on that road making cycling so hazardous the B4270 is hardly used now for access to Cowbridge . There is no public transport.
Another factor that seems to have been ignored is that as development creeps uphill along Church Road it becomes steadily more intrusive especially on the south of Church Road, and could eventually be on the sky line, and surround the iron age hill fort especially if development occurred on the north side of the fort
