Readers Way HG1 KS3

I am objecting on the grounds that this site will have a significant impact on the residents of Readers Way; Celtic Way and Fontygary Road and adjoining neighbourhood in the Rhoose Ward. The traffic from over 500 new houses would cause significant stress on an area that is restricted by size and infrastucture. The junction at Fontygary Road and Fonmon Road (Fontygary Inn) would also be compromised

Sewage: Welsh Water have already shown that capacity for sewerage is at capacity, and with raw sewage already being poured onto our beaches it can only get worse.

Wildlife: Many species of plants and animals are protected. The protection applies to the habitats of bats, otters and may other animals, as well as many plants.

Infrastructure: There is only a One Stop Tesco and although walking distance an elderly person would not be able to traverse this on safety grounds, and carry shopping, whilst the store does not have capacity to stock a variety of goods.

Health Services: There are only two Doctors and one Dentists in close proximity and are already at capacity.

Education: All local schools are at capacity. The only Secondary Education is undertaken in Cowbridge which is at capacity as is Whitmore High School.

Building on Green Wedge is generally restricted, with a strong presumption against 'inappropriate development'.

Green wedges are designed to keep areas open, maintain the character of the countryside.

Travel: There is only one bus per hour when it runs and only one train per hour. Walking time to the train station would be at least 15 minutes depending on age.
