Cadarn? Heb nodi
I would like to submit my objections to the development of 376 houses at Weycock Cross in Barry!
Traffic
As someone who lives nearby on Colcot Road, we are daily facing congestion, traffic jams & poor air quality from more & more cars, lorries & commercial vehicles!
Increasing numbers of cars travelling along Port Road, and then down to the roundabout to Weycock Cross for Cardiff Airport, Llantwit Major & Rhoose, will only get worse with the addition of a large housing estate on this junction.
Drainage & Flooding
This site is prone to flooding, especially after heavy rain, which eventually runs down to Porthkerry Park.
The addition of large ponds will not be enough to contain the runoff, and these will need to be monitored & drained on a regular basis.
Green Wedge
These fields allow for a green wedge between Barry and Rhoose which is currently being developed in various places, including a new campus for Cardiff & Vale College at the Airport.
Services / Infrastructure
As a Barry resident, we are all struggling to access doctors, dentists & schools, and as a family of four we have all waited 12 years for a NHS dentist in Barry. I know that they have waiting to get into year 7 at Whitmore High School.
Biodiversity
With the removal of another green space, will mean that dormice, badgers, bats and otters will disappear from this location, which we are meant to protect & enhance.
Conclusion
I'm disappointed that this site was seen as an alternative site for 376 houses, that are in the wrong place, will cause more traffic congestion, pollution & poor air quality!
The Vale's LDP is not sustainable, unpopular and makes a mockery of the democratic process, that is biased against local residents, who actually live the areas affected!
