Cyngor Bro Morgannwg
Vale of Glamorgan Council

Remove allocation.

Please accept this letter as my formal objection to the inclusion of Site 370 in the RLDP. I request that this objection be recorded in full.
The proposed development in the Thaw Valley is fundamentally incompatible with the Welsh Government’s stated commitment to safeguarding Special Landscape Areas. Proceeding with this allocation would undermine those protections and set a concerning precedent for future planning decisions.
The site is also severely constrained by its lack of public transport provision. Any development here would, by necessity, result in a substantial increase in private car use. Residents would be forced to rely on cars for commuting, shopping, leisure, healthcare, and social needs, placing unsustainable pressure on already burdened local roads.
Furthermore, Cowbridge and Llanblethian Town Council unanimously opposed the inclusion of this site in the RLDP. As the authority responsible for the Cowbridge Placemaking Plan, the council has a clear and informed understanding of the town’s needs and long term priorities. Its unequivocal opposition should carry significant weight in the decision making process.
For these reasons, I strongly urge the removal of Site 370 from the RLDP.
