I would like to object to the potential classification of the Bryn Melin field (site 370 ) in terms of its development potential. I believe that this site is unsuited to development for a number of reasons.
We should retain high quality open countryside.
It is in the Thaw Valley which is a highly valued open space in the neighbourhood-unspoilt countryside from Llanblethian to St Hilary. It has uninterrupted views and provides easy access to nature. Any development in this field would significantly damage the integrity of the whole valley. The public footpaths across it are important to local people
We should not increase danger on our roads
Secondly, St Athan Road, the only vehicular access to the site, is narrow with no footpaths. The road is already dangerous and any increase in traffic would make it more so. The albeit temporary construction traffic would make it much much more so again - and for how long?
Dark sky sites are to be protected for future generations
am also particularly interested in astronomy and am currently developing interest in the night sky in a local primary school. This area of Cowbridge, as it is a valley with no development, has significantly less light pollution than other more suburbanised areas. This is a valuable and a relatively rare resource so close to a town. Development here would destroy this and make it much harder for future generations to gain a view of the heavens. The Welsh Government supports Dark Sky sites; it would be bad to lose our local one
