It will increase traffic congestion
It will eliminate a valuable green space that supports local wildlife and wellbeing.
Building on the land will worsen water runoff into the Eastbrook river, risking flooding, as the area naturally absorbs water.
It would also strain existing utilities, which are already under pressure, causing potential power cuts.
The proposal is not sustainable where there are no local services - schools, doctors, dentists are all oversubscribed.
The site's distance from amenities make it unsuitable for sustainable living, especially for pedestrians and vulnerable groups.
As a resident of Dinas Powys, this submission focuses on Site Reference HG1 KS2 Land to the North of Dinas Powys. My thoughts, concerns and objections are as follows:
It will result in more traffic on the already congested highways running through Dinas.
We will lose a green space which is nice to walk across, there are lovely birds, plants and fauna and it is important for mental and physical health and wellbeing.
The increased run off - from the roofs and drives of properties, the paths and road network - will add to the large volume of water in the Eastbrook river. The ground absorbs water and releases it slowly. The land in question is a natural sponge. By building on it, you are taking that away. As a former farmer, I know. SuDS wont provide a solution, they wont take the volume of water which will eventually run into the Cadoxton river after the Eastbrook river - which are already choked up.
As an electrician, when Dinas Powys flooded in December 2020, I was wading through water to get to properties if people who had been flooded, in order to make their electrical installations safe.
The development would place increased demand on utilities - the grid is unable to cope as it is. We have experienced a number of electrical power cuts.
The proposal is not sustainable where there are no local services - schools, doctors, dentists are all oversubscribed.
The site is a distance form Dinas Powys / Llandough amenities such as shops and for walker / cyclists / wheelchair users it is not feasible.
