Testun llawn:
I wish to register my strongest objection to the proposed housing development HG1 KS2 Eastbrook in the RDLP.
Firstly I request this development is removed from the RDLP with immediate effect, as outlined below, Dinas Powys has less infrastructure and utilities than the other included sites. The need for further housing around the Vale is not in dispute but siting it in an area of green wedge space between Dinas + Llandough, on a road already severely congested and in a village that has schools and other services, including the GP surgery already beyond capacity is dangerous, damaging and would lead to permanent, further degradation of our village.
This clearly does not meet the requirements of so called Active Travel (Wales) Act 2013. As a keen cyclist I simply do not travel beyond Dinas on my bike as it is too dangerous, particularly towards Barry and the Vale. The traffic on Cardiff Road is beyond ridiculous already, how can an extra Set of lights assist this? How can you widen the roads and inaccessible paving? How can people with limited or no mobility use such an impractical train station?
Flooding is another major concern. The fields are often waterlogged and the RLDP has not shown that this site can be made flood safe. There is no modelling of downstream impacts no cumulative assessment and no evidence of drainage network capacity. Allocating land without proving it can be safely developed is irresponsible and contrary to TAN15 and PPW11. Planning Policy Wales, Technical Advice Note. The Environment (Wales) Act 2016, the Active Travel (Wales) Act 2013, the Equality Act 2010, Future Wates: The National Plan + the new Environment (Principles, Governance and Biodiversity Targets) (Wales) Bill, passed on 24 February 2026. This site is neither safe nor deliverable and I Implore you to do what is right for our precious community.
