Flood Alleviation
There is a desperate need for not just a flood alleviation plan, but action to protect the residents of Llanmaes from the continuing effects of flooding in the area. More properties have been affected this year. Recently our own 400-year-old property, which has never been previously affected, was subjected to a backlog of sewage from the main sewer in the road on which we live. Fortunately, a manhole on our drive gave way under the pressure, releasing water and sewage down the road. Otherwise, like other properties in the village we would be at risk of the property itself flooding with sewage.
I would call upon both the Vale of Glamorgan Council and the Welsh Government to come up with a coherent, joined up plan and solution to this long running problem and implement it with urgency.
No building should be allowed in the village until a solution has been completed, there is too much risk to existing properties.
Green Wedge/Conservation. Land Between Llantwit Major and Llanmaes Site D436 Proposal Number DNP2(6)
I would strongly support the proposal for a 'green wedge' for the land between the village of Llanmaes and the Llantwit major bypass, but this should also include the land currently under proposal for the above retail development site. This would protect this land from further hostile development proposals, protect the intrusion into the countryside and the setting of the Llanmaes Conservation Area and protect the village against physical and visual coalescence with a town, protecting its rural and village character. It would protect the setting of the Llanmaes Conservation Area as per the adopted Management Plan.
