Effeithiau ar y Gymraeg:

In my view a detrimental although there is no law indicating that Welsh is a necessity for residency.

Crynodeb o'r Gynrychiolaeth:

I believe this proposal, like SP9, is poorly considered and contradicts a lawful agreement made in 2017 between the VOG council, Llangan community council, and the 'ONE' traveller family to transfer the site for community use. Points 1-7 in the proposal are inaccurate. The site’s only access is via rural lanes, increasing traffic and risking safety. It does not meet social housing standards, risks community tension, is in a flood risk area with inadequate amenities, and is in a protected landscape area, making the expansion inappropriate.

Newid wedi’i awgrymu gan ymatebydd:

There are no changes that, in my mind would support any such proposal. There are no provisions to restrict the use of this site in the future should this inappropriate proposal be passed; furthermore the VOG Council has shown that they can agree to certain lawful proposals only to renege on them in future years. Therefore this proposal should be removed from the development plan.

Testun llawn:

Similarly this proposal, like SP9, is ill thought out and contrary to a previous LAWFULL agreement between the VOG council, LLangan community council and the 'ONE' traveller family to transfer the site in 2017 to the community council for community use.
Points 1-7 outlined in the proposal are not correct.
1,2 & 5. The site only has vehicular access leading to increased traffic on poorly maintained, unlit rural lanes with no public pathways, hampering safe access to local facilities and emergency services. No public transport within a safe walking distance.
3. The site would not meet the standards required for social housing. The same standards apply for housing for the Gypsy and Traveller community.
4. The scale of the proposed number of pitches poses a real risk of escalating fear and tension within the local community, which would be contrary to encouraging and developing good relations between Gypsy Travellers and the settled community.
6. Situated in a Flood risk area with on site services/amenities not being adequate without serious work - who will pay for this work?
7. The site is in a Special Landscape Area and adjacent to the Llangan Conservation Area. The RDLP background paper acknowledges the importance of protecting views and landscape character within these areas. The proposed expansion is contrary to that view.
Furthermore the nearest settlement with appropriate facilities and services is Cowbridge 7.5 km away.
