This all depends on who comes to live there which is an unknown factor.
1. This will result in the loss of habitats for a large variety of wildlife which will have a detrimental affect on Dinas Powys.
2. Doctors are already over capacity with a heavy workload and additional homes with an average of 2+ homes will exacerbate the problem with catastrophic results.
3. Dinas Powys already experiences regular flooding, including on Cardiff Road. Attenuation systems still release water and rely on functioning control systems, meaning failure or capacity could result in major flooding.
4. How will the local foul sewerage system be able to cope with the increased flow from the new developments, will the developers be installing new pipes to the sewerage works digging up the main roads in Dinas Powys with months of chaos?
5. Roads are already heavily congested and any additional traffic will increase existing pollution. This is also likely to become another excuse to build a bypass which has to be avoided.
6. Eastbrook station car park is totally inadequate which results in additional car journeys. Development will make this matter worse.
7. Present schools are already over capacity.
8. Developments will enlarge the area and join it with Barry, Penarth and Llandough resulting in loss of identity.
9. While restrictions will be imposed on the contractors, these are not always adhered to and difficult to monitor resulting in more disruption to the residents of Dinas Powys.
Planning reference HG1 KS2 North of Dinas Powys, off Cardiff Road 250 dwellings proposed.
1. Wildlife: These areas have a large variety of flora and provides habitat for a large variety of wildlife. This loss is totally unnecessary and will have a detrimental effect on Dinas Powys.
2. Doctors: It is presently very difficult to get an appointment to see my local doctor with a long wait for non-urgent consultation. The nurses at the practice also have a heavy workload dressing wounds etc., something I experienced recently with wound dressing over a 4 month period. An additional 1150 dwellings with average 2+ residents is going to make the problem much worse and is liable to result in failure with catastrophic results.
3. Flooding: Dinas Powys has suffered major flooding and the danger of flooding in recent years. While developers can provide attenuation to allow controlled flows into the local streams, they only work with a functioning control system. Even when working correctly they still release water into the system. Cardiff Road is regularly flooded with cars only able to pass with caution but making it impossible for pedestrians which affects access to our house. Should there be failure of the attenuation control or under capacity this could have catastrophic consequences with major flooding to Dinas Powys.
4. Sewerage: How will the local foul sewerage system be able to cope with the increased flow from the new developments, will the developers be installing new pipes to the sewerage works digging up the main roads in Dinas Powys with months of chaos?
5. Traffic: The roads in Dinas Powys are heavily congested especially during rush hours which nowadays extends to most of the day. Queues of stationary traffic emitting exhaust fumes, this will be made significantly worse if these developments occur. This is also liable to become another excuse to build a bypass which definitely has to be avoided.
6. Parking: The Eastbrook station car park is presently totally inadequate. This results in additional car journeys which would be avoided if parking was available, the new developments can only make this matter worse.
7. Schools The local primary school was built over 100 years ago for a small village, while it has expanded and there are additional schools, I understand that the present schools are over capacity which can only be made worse with these developments.
8. Village: Dinas Powys is a unique village to the residents, these developments will enlarge it and eventually joining it to Barry, Penarth and Llandough resulting in loss of identity and individuality which is important to a society.
9. Construction: While restrictions will be imposed on the contractors, these are not always adhered to and difficult to monitor resulting in more disruption to the residents of Dinas Powys.
Q2: This all depends on who comes to live there which is an unknown factor.
