I strongly oppose this proposal despite its call-in by the Welsh Government. I believe the 'urban creep' from Llantwit Major to Llanmaes would harm the rural village and Llanmaes Conservation Area, causing significant disruption during construction and operation. The claim that many shoppers would walk is unsubstantiated, as the large car park suggests most would drive, increasing traffic off the bypass and impacting the conservation area. The site is outside the strategic growth area and conflicts with the green wedge, intruding into the countryside.
I object strongly to this proposal even though I understand it has now been called in by the Welsh Government. This 'urban creep' from Llantwit Major to Llanmaes should not be allowed due to the impact on the rural village and the Llanmaes Conservation Area. There would be significant disruption both during the build phase and once a store is operational. I do not believe that a significant number of shoppers would be walking to store as was alledged during the planning application. As far as I aaware no questions were put forward to the developers as to the percentage of shoppers that walk to a store in a similar existing location. The size of the car park would appear to suppot the theory that the majority of shoppers would drive. This additional vehicle activity coming off the Llantwit Major bypass and through Llanmaes itself would be detrimental to the Llanames Conservation area. This site is outside of the current LDP strategic growth area; the proposal is oncongruent with the green wedge proposed and it would represent a major intrusion into the countryside.
