I strongly object to development of this site for housing as it goes against some key objectives of the RLDP. I object because it goes against "Objective 1 - Mitigating and Adapting to Climate Change" and "Objective 2 - Improving Mental and Physical Health and Well-being" and "Objective 8 - Promoting Active and Sustainable Travel Choices" because the area hasn't got adequate public transport nor active travel infrastructure, so all new residents will be forced to move by car for virtually any needs. The recent housing developments in Dinas, Barry and Sully have already created enormous traffic pressure on the poor road network and were not accompanied by any improvement in public transport nor active travel infrastructure. Significant improvements in public transport and active travel infrastructure should be planned and undertaken prior to any further housing development. I object as the proposed use goes against the RLDP Objective 5 – Protecting and Enhancing the Natural Environment, Objective 4 – Placemaking and Objective 2 - Improving Mental and Physical Health and Well-being. The site is located in an area of natural beauty and tranquillity, heritage rural setting and crossed by a public right of way for local walkers.
