The site does not meet transport sustainability objectives of Planning Policy Wales.
The site is not served by public transport and will be car and delivery van dependent. Access to the site will be via narrow rural lanes with visibility problems and issues for two vehicles passing. The two access points onto the A48 primary route connecting Cardiff with Bridgend have previously been identified as unsafe for pedestrians, cyclists and motorists The site is over one mile from the bus stops on the nearest public transport route on the A48 which does not have a controlled pedestrian crossing.
The proposed development should ensure that pedestrian routes provide a safe pedestrian environment and encourages safe cycling. There are no safe walking and cycling routes through the village and the connecting lanes to/from the A48. There are no continuous pavements and therefore no safe walking and cycling routes to the primary school, the village church, the village centre and public house, and to the bus stops on the A48.
The site does not embody the sustainability principles for rural locations as set out in Planning Policy Wales which requires the provision of safe and convenient cycle and pedestrian routes and a public transport link for residential development sites. The inclusion of this site fails to meet the sustainability objectives and should not be approved for inclusion in the final LDP.
Remove site.
