1. Green Wedge/Conservation DNP2 Site 6 Land between Llantwit Major and Llanmaes
Llanmaes Community Council strongly supports this allocation (originally proposed and promoted by ourselves) within the RLDP Deposit Plan. This designation protects this area of open countryside against intrusions from the urban form. It also protects against the visual and physical coalescence of the Town of Llantwit Major and the Village of Llanmaes and protects the setting of the Llanmaes Conservation Area consistent with its adopted Management Plan. Development pressure on this strip of green space is significant as evidenced by the various housing, mixed and retail proposals made to date as part of the RLDP process. Having studied the background papers on the allocation of Green Wedges throughout the Vale of Glamorgan we note that this area scores the highest of all the Green Wedges across the county, including the five existing ones, as recorded in RLDP Background Paper 27 and tested against the Welsh Government’s five purposes for designation of a Green Wedge. Therefore, we are very grateful to the RLDP team for their positive evaluation of this site for this classification. We also note the adjustments made to the area covered by the Green Wedge between that originally proposed by ourselves and that in the Deposit Plan and with the exception of the tentative retail designation of the Bridge House Farm parcel we have no objections to these.
