Testun llawn:
I wish to oppose RLDP ID 379 Proposal Number SP12(2), on the grounds of the position and proposed access road to and from this Lidle development will be a major safety concern and danger both to the traffic through the village of Llanmaes and to the traffic on the Llantwit Major bypass B-4265. The current Llanmaes village traffic consists of mainly light vehicles and some HGV, whilst the B-4265 is increasingly HGV, supplying quarried materials to Aberthaw Cement works. Both roads are used extensively by cyclists particularly through the village since this is the recognised Vale cycleway to Ewenny. The single footpath through the village to the traffic light controlled crossings is more importantly the main route used by pedestrians both residents and visitors, including local school children going to and from the schools in Llantwit Major, plus many runners and walkers from the larger recreational areas. In addition there are stables and a riding school just before the exit of the village with the junction with the B-4265. I am of the opinion that as indicated on the Lidl proposal it will only be a matter of time before serious accidents, injuries and fatalities will occur.
Additionally I support Proposal Number ID 436 Number DNP2 (6), for the Conservation /Green Wedge to prevent the coalescence of Llanmaes and Llantwit Major and hence preserve the unique village amenity of the Llanmaes setting which is enjoyed by residents of both locations and the many walkers,runners and cyclists who daily frequent the village and adjoining countryside.
