Cyngor Bro Morgannwg
Vale of Glamorgan Council

I wish to strongly object to the above proposal.

As a retired chartered civil and highway engineer I am fully aware that the existing infrastructure is overloaded and totally unable to accommodate more development , traffic , foul water disposal ……. and so on .

The above points were the fundamental and basic reasons why planning in 2010 was refused ( when only 200 houses were proposed ) .

Since then numerous housing developments in the west of the Vale of Glamorgan have been completed putting increased pressure on roads , schools, health care and centres, drainage disposal (foul , storm and highway) and other statutory services.

The Nant Talwg watercourse is continuously being subjected to “emergency”sewage overflow situations - the foul system and pumping station cannot handle the current increased volumes.

The current infrastructure was not designed for today’s requirements - it is outdated and unable to cope with increased traffic volumes and loadings from the additional developments .

I am also aware that the consultation period is not in accordance with regulations regarding “due consideration” , and is based on the timing of forthcoming Senedd elections in May.
It has become more of a political issue as opposed to that of logic and common sense.
