Review of the overall allocation of houses, for actual need, location and infrastructure should be made. The train station at St Athan even if delivered will not stop cars as the time to Cardiff on train is too long! Green space and peoples wellbeing must be considered on any designs and planning! Planning is the process of thinking regarding the activities required to achieve a desired goal. Planning is based on foresight, the fundamental capacity for mental time travel. Some researchers regard the evolution of forethought - the capacity to think ahead! Not just fill up a green field with houses today - think for tomorrow! I do not see this forethought in the development plan.

I believe this LDP is unsound as it appears to have just placed major developments of houses were land was put forward without and sustainable forward thinking 'plan'. In particular St Athan is going to be significantly impacted, the growth in this Vale 'Village' means it is already larger than Cowbridge Town, without the transport links and facilities. There is no guarantee people will choose to live and work close by if jobs did materialise. Therefore the impact of 2 + cars per additional house should be considered at Barry as well as the close by junctions.
