I object on behalf of Mr William Carroll, who lacks website access but verbally conveyed his concerns. He is very angry about the VOG’s plan to expand the site to seven pitches and offer them to strangers with no family ties. He recalls a 2017 agreement where the site was to be vacated and transferred to the Community Council, which has not been honoured. He believes the area cannot support more pitches, citing lack of local services, public transport, and inadequate drainage, making the expansion unfair and unsuitable.
The site should be removed from the plan and the asset transferred to the community as agreed in 2017.
Llangan Community Council make the following objection on behalf of Mr William Carroll as he does not have access to the website, however he has verbally communicated the following with Llangan Community Councillors.
Mr Carroll's current position is that he is very angry about the VOG proposing to expand the site again and offer the 7 pitches to people he doesn't know and has no family connections with.
In July 2017 there was a meeting between Llangan Community Council, Llangan Action and the traveller family occupying the site and an agreement was reached with the VOG for vacation of the site and for the site to be transferred to the Community Council for use by the community. The current family was granted planning permission for there own private site and have mostly moved to the new location, just leaving a few family members on the original site to protect the land as requested by the VOG at the meeting. Our understanding was that the action taken by all parties fulfilled the requirements of the meeting and the land could now be transfer to the Community Council as agreed. The VOG have breached this agreement with no further discussion with the Community over the last 9 years.
I hear from the Community Council that the VOG are new proposing to expand the Llangan site to 7 pitches. I am concerned and angry about proposal to expand the site again and to offer the 7 pitches to people I don't know and have no connection with. This is very unfair on the community and my family.
The local area cannot support an increase from 2 to 7 pitches. The site is not reasonably accessible to services, facilities, employment, medical facilities, shops and community facilities (there are no shops, restaurants, pubs/bars in the area) and there is no public transport. Cowbridge, the nearest town, is circa 7.5km from the site which is the nearest settlement providing a range of services. There is no public transport serving the site. No mains drainage on only a cesspit and this could not support any additional people.
