Cyngor Bro Morgannwg
Vale of Glamorgan Council

The proposed site needs to be relocated. There are many potential sites in the Vale far better suited for this. There are vast swathes of land between Culverhouse cross & Port Road in Barry, good road access & bus routes. There are large areas of land betweeen Sully & Barry, some of the old industrial estates which have already been concreted & are flat & development there would be a huge improvement in the area. No one is suggesting that more housing is not needed but the planning needs to be sympathetic to the villages & residents. The government insists that health & education are priorities, yet this proposal completely ignores the concerns of the local residents who cannot get doctors appointments, cannot find nhs dentists & cannot get their children into their local schools, which are doubly oversubscribed in some cases. We are already waiting on ever increasing waiting lists for hospital appointments and our general health & wellbeing is being compromised with the horrendous traffic fumes we have to endure with Cardiff road congestion….and two nurseries & infant schools right on Cardiff Road!! How does that affect our children’s health?
Cardiff Road is a nightmare, a bypass has been proposed & promised for over 40 years but nothing has happened or ever likely to happen. Please do not make this situation worse for us.

This idea is disastrous in so many ways. The planners have simply pinned a place on the map near a railway station. The road through Dinas is gridlocked at peak times & it will be impossible to get out of the proposed estate, with potentially an additional 4 or 5 hundred more cars. The additional flood risk is terrifying for many residents. The health & education problems are completely being ignored with an additional 600 people at least. There are no local dentists, heavily over subscribed schools and no plans for extra doctors. Shame on you.
