I object to the Land at North West Barry site due to traffic concerns, supported by transport assessments indicating severe congestion and environmental impact from increased vehicles. The natural habitat, including protected badger setts, would be irrevocably harmed, and the site’s proximity to a SSSI raises concerns about damaging this protected area and green wedge removed that is used for agriculture. There is no provision for increased amenities like schools or healthcare. I believe brownfield sites should be prioritised over green spaces and that this site should be removed from the RLDP.
Objection: HG1 KS1 – Land at North West Barry
Objection on a number of grounds. Pre - eminent are traffic concerns which will impact existing and new residents. Evidenced from submitted supporting documents BP14 Strategic Transport Assessment – Stage 1, BP14A Strategic Transport Assessment – Stage 2. Documents reveal even a small increase in traffic will push this area of North West Barry into severe congestion with all its attendant effects and will impact negatively upon the environment. Even conservatively there is likely to be hundreds of extra vehicles on the roads during peak times.
The natural environment supports a range of habitats such as badgers, whose setts are protected under law. The irrevocable loss of the natural environment cannot be justified on a speculative ‘houses are more important’ basis.
No provision for an increase in the use of amenities such as schools and doctors (BP45 – Education).
Proposed site lies adjacent to a SSSI (Porthkerry Park). The destruction of the natural environment surrounding this area is likely to impact negatively upon this designation.
Brownfield sites should be prioritised for housing allocation within the RLDP rather than green wedge land which is currently in use for agriculture which also supports a range of biodiversity.
For the above reasons and more I believe this site (HG1 KS1 – Land at North West Barry) should be removed as a candidate for the RLDP.
