Increased flooding
Not sufficient services
Lose village identity
Reduced greenbelt
NHS already at capacity

As a resident directly located in front of the land in question. I'm extremely concerned about the risk of flooding as we experience a lot of issues in this area already. The infrastructure around Dinas powys, roads, train stations, etc. Are definitely not equipped to deal with an increase of population. Not to mention there is only one GP surgery in Dinas powys, it won't be sufficient to provide a service to all.
That land has provided happiness to the residents of Dinas Powys, nature is so important for the wellbeing of society. The land should be treasured and protected.

Plan and implement infrastructure and flooding implications before planning is applied for.

I object to planning reference HG1 KS2. The infrastructure is not in place to deal with more housing in this area. The roads are crumbling already, the doctors and schools are full, the traffic through Dinas Powys is horrific, it’s gridlock all of the way through and not just at rush hour. This development will exacerbate the flooding issue already within the area as it will be removing the ability to slow the flow towards the river Cadoxton via East Brook, as well as destroying vital wildlife habitats. This plan is wholly a money making scheme with no thought or regard to the severe impacts on the area.

Better transport plans
Better area for the housing
Better Public transport

Traffic concerns
250 homes could bring over 300-500 additional cars. Cardiff Road and Culverhouse Cross were already at capacity 5 years ago and there have been no subsequent upgrades.
Public transport concerns

Nature concerns

I strongly object to this plan. Dinas Powys doesn’t have the facilities for its current population as it is. At rush hour it is gridlocked already. There will be an increased risk of flooding to the Cadoxton River. It would cause a loss of wildlife which is unacceptable. Our local doctors surgery is already at full capacity.

Road structure within Dinas Powys is at crisis point. Traffic constantly queueing along Cardiff Road to and from Llandough.The size of the proposed development No.444 is inappropriate. We strongly object to these plans.
Schools, Health Centre , Flooding are already at breaking point. Emergency services have great difficulty in travelling along Cardiff Road and any delays can result in life threatening situations.
Air polution is problematic travelling through Dinas Powys. When walking or cycling along Cardiff Road the smell of traffic fumes is unbearable. The proposed plans can only exasperate the problems causing such chaos within Dinas Powys.

This plan expands the village against both its wishes and capacity in order to build homes on land that floods.

it is a concerning large development on a site that is easily flooded which is a major worry to residents in this area due to past flooding problems. It is already a congested area with limited resource at the GP and schooling as it stands in a village that has a strong identity as one. I cannot see why a new development is required in the heart of an already established community, straining tight resource and increasing the horrific congestion issues that already exist

Objection to proposed development id 444- HG1 KS2. I live in Dinas Powys. Cardiff road is already congested & over capacity. The increased traffic will impact on safety of Dinas Powys families trying to cross the road to primary schools and rail station. Emergency vehicles from Dinas Powys and Barry going to Llandough hospital & Cardiff will be delayed. Construction will increase already massive delays to traffic. Traffic Queues will be horrendous.
Dinas Powys village does not have infrastructure in place for increased homes. Sewage & water run off will contribute to the flooding problems of the village .

Good afternoon

I would like to add to my email below. I did not attend the consultation event, but I have seen the incessant aggressive grumblings from our elderly village neighbours, and would like to state that, despite what they claim, they do not speak for all Dinas Powys residents. In fact part of my reason for not attending was that I didn’t feel comfortable being able to state my feelings that I want these houses to be built, as I feared my vociferous neighbours would take personal offence as they cannot disagree amicably, and direct their pitchforks towards my family. That’s not a nice position to be in, and I will raise it with the community council, if and when I get a suitable opportunity.

Also, the fake news misinformation posted online by some council members (pictures of bulldozers from google to announce a consultation event, misleading people that the groundwork is underway), is disgusting and adds to the feeling that I cannot state my view.

There are many young families in Dinas Powys, that are desperate to move house and want to stay in Dinas, within the schools catchment area, but we cannot as there are no houses available. Having to wait for new builds is frustrating enough, but if these houses don’t get built, it will mean my family, and others like us, will be forced to leave the village. This is something those aggressive elderly Facebook boomers are completely disregarding, whilst claiming to speak for all residents of Dinas Powys.

I will say, there should be constructive dialogue about road access, and personally, I think a better entrance to the site, would be on the disused old tarmac patch between the Merrie Harrier, and the church by those traffic lights. That would reduce traffic on Cardiff Road. Or better yet, build the fabled Dinas Powys Bypass.

Please please please, do not give in to the vocal minority; the busybody old codgers with nothing better to do. Please build the houses that young families of Dinas Powys so desperately need.

I have a number of objections to the proposed plan to develop 250 houses at Eastbrook North of Dinas Powys off Cardiff Road. Objections considering: Traffic, Air pollution, Environmental, Flooding Risks, Impact on existing services, Destroying the village character of Dinas Powys by removing a Green Belt. Please see further comments on attached sheets. Have the council taken into account the impacts on the RLDP on their obligations to all of the objectives under the Well-being of Future Generations (Wales) 2015?
Dinas Powys Air Quality and Traffic
Can the council confirm that the existing highway network in Dinas Powys can accommodate the growth proposed in the RLDP without causing unacceptable congestion? Please provide evidence including junction capacity assessments and peak hour modelling.
For any development allocations in Dinas Powys that may impact congestion, what measures are taken to mitigate these effects. Are these measures fully funded deliverable and enforceable?

Air Quality Impacts
Has the council assessed the likely impact of the proposed growth on local air quality in Dinas Powys, including cumulative effects? How will the plan ensure compliance with statutory air quality standards?
The Royal College of Physicians warned that air pollution effects almost every organ in the body and estimated to cause 30,000 deaths in the UK in 2025. On Cardiff Road, we have Dinas Powys primary school and Ribbons Pre school Nursery. We also also have an aging population that regularly walk to the local shops or their dogs. Have the council carried out air pollution tests, specifically during the periods when the children are at school or toddlers/babies are at the nursery? (say from 08:00 to 16:00 hours) Testing Carbon monoxide (CO)-toxic to humans. Nitrogen Oxides (NOX)-cause health problems, Particulate Matter (PM)-can damage lungs and/or enter bloodstreams. Have the council assessed the potential damage to the local area and impact on the health services? Are we currently experiencing full capacity or over capacity on Cardiff Road with regards to traffic movement and in particular congestion that will add further pressure on air-quality impacts? Can the Council justify that the RLDP remains sound in the light of these uncertainties. In addition to the impact of traffic congestion on air quality, how will this impact on the ability of the emergency services (police, ambulances and fire service) to carry out emergency responses?
Pressure on existing sewer and water services. Flooding risks. The sewer and rainwater services and mains water supply were designed for a village with a modest population, recent housing development near Murch Crescent and Peny-Turnpike Road has added pressure on an aging system that is operating at near full capacity, increasing the risk of flooding in parts of Cardiff Road, Millbrook Road and Greenfield Avenue. On numerous occasions the sewer/rainwater drainage system has struggled to cope with heavy rainfall evidenced with water flowing out of manhole covers. In October 2025, there were major mains water pipework bursts at St David's Avenue, Long meadow Drive and other areas in Dinas Powys, (apparently caused by a new mains water pipe being fitted on the outskirts of the village). There was damage to houses in St Davids Avenue and major damage to steps. What guarantees will Dwr Cymru/council offer that there will be no major distribution to these services with the RLDP? If the Cardiff Road and the surrounding areas become flooded and properties are damaged will the council compensate those affected? The RLDP will be developed on Green fields that currently absorb a lot of the rainwater, building on top of this land will increase surface water on the roads and flooding risks. What guarantees that a sustainable drainage system from the RLDP will be effective if it is connected to an old drainage system operating at full capacity?
Impact on other services-
The Dinas Powys Medical Centre serves people in Dinas Powys and parts of Penarth, making it over stretched and unable to serve effectively the residents of the village. Has the Council specifically asked the Dinas Powys medical centre if it could cope with the additional population from the proposed development? On a similar theme has the council approached Dinas Powys primary school, local dentists and nurseries if they would be able to cope with the addition population.
Ecology studies and Biodiversity
The RLDP will destroy a significant amount of Green land and biodiversity. At nearby Michaelston Le Pit it is well known at toads cross roads during their migration to breeding ponds, the toads travel from over wintering sites. Can the Council confirm that an ecology study has been carried out to ensure the toads overwintering sites and indeed bird nesting sites will not be destroyed?

Strongly object to the planned housing at Eastbrook Dinas Powys. I use this road twice daily and can attest to it being congested already.
I cannot understand the thought process of adding hundreds of homes into this area. Schools and doctors are already oversubscribed.
The loss of wildlife habitat and green space would cause further devastation to our nature depleted country. Putting money before the environment yet again. Determined to destroy what little green space we have left - it’s criminal.
Listen to the people, they do not want this.

This development will likely impact the alredy busy Cardiff road area. No plans have been made to increase facilities like schools, GP transport. There are also concerns with regard to flooding in the area.

I would like to leave a comment on the proposed new housing development in Dinas Powys.

I completely support it. I personally have four young children and I am struggling with housing post divorce.

I am due to be evicted from a private rental by August this year and may have to go into emergency housing which also means homes 4 U can bid on anything suitable anywhere in the vale of Glamorgan.

All my children are in the local community plus they attend Dinas Powys primary school in which they are all thriving and are very settled.

I would desperately want one of these houses to support my family. We are all part of the community in Dinas Powys and would very much like to stay here. The children are settled and we would like to stay in Dinas Powys.

I hope this is positive feedback for the plans .

Q1: I live at 18 Cardiff Road and regularly witness the traffic conditions in this area. During rush hour, traffic backs up from the lights by the Merrie Harrier Hotel and extends past my house. Even outside of peak times, there is frequently a long queue of cars along Cardiff Road heading towards the Merrie Harrier.

From what I understand, the proposed development will have an exit onto Cardiff Road close to the traffic lights at the Merrie Harrier. I do not believe sufficient consideration has been given to the impact this will have on what is already a severely congested road. Introducing another access point so close to the lights, combined with additional vehicles from the new houses attempting to merge, will inevitably worsen the situation. Traffic, which already stretches beyond my property, will extend even further, creating wider disruption and potentially gridlocking the area.

Unless a new main road is constructed to improve access in and out of Dinas Powys, adding more homes and therefore more vehicles, particularly during peak hours is simply not sustainable.

In addition to the traffic concerns, I am extremely worried about flooding. My home is already at risk, which has significantly affected both its value and my insurance premiums. My partner and his family have lived in this house for over 30 years and never experienced issues with rainfall or flooding. However, after the previous housing development near Cross Common Road was built, properties across the road suffered internal flooding, and my garden which fortunately slopes downwards also flooded.

This raises serious concerns that further development in the area will increase surface water run-off and exacerbate flooding problems.

I would also question whether adequate consideration has been given to local infrastructure, particularly schools and the doctor S surgery. The medical centre in Dinas Powys is already under considerable strain. Having lived in several areas across the Vale and in Cardiff over the past eight years, and as a parent of two young children, I have had frequent contact with GP surgeries. Dinas Powys Medical Centre has, by far, been the most difficult to access. There are long queues first thing in the morning just to attempt to secure an emergency appointment, and even when I have managed to get through, all appointments have often already been taken. On several occasions, I have had to wait weeks simply to speak to a GP, and even then only via telephone.

While I understand the pressures that GP surgeries are under nationally, I have not experienced this level of difficulty elsewhere. Increasing the population without significantly improving local services will only intensify these existing problems.

Q2: No comment.

I disagree with the proposal to build 250 houses off Cardiff Road. The infrastructure of Dinas cannot cope with any further housing. It is a nightmare presently trying to drive in and out of Dinas without any extra cars from additional housing. Doctors and schools are already at full capacity and Dinas will lose its village identity.

Development at Dinas Powys (HG1 KS2) will further increase the congestion on main roads which is at full capacity already. The knock on effect will be higher pollution rates for everyone of the residents and the local schools. The public transport is already over capacity at peak times and on occasions some people cannot get on the train at Eastbrook station. There is not enough availability for regular doctors appointments at present and any further increase in population will further increase the problems being experienced.

In regard to development HG1 KS2. Our traffic, trains, doctors and schools are already at capacity without these extra houses. They will also increase the risk of flooding and take away Dinas Powys' identity as a village

Q1: I would like to record my objection to 250 houses being built in this area, for many reasons.

Cardiff Road is already heavily congested particularly at peak times but also throughout the day. I have lived in Dinas Powys for 40 years and the amount of traffic on this road has increased at an alarming rate. It is unlikely that all residents will use public transport, especially as access to Eastbrook station is limited.

The air pollution caused by the road congestion is greatly detrimental to the health of residents - I have lost count of the number of cancer cases in people living adjacent to this road. It is very harmful to the health of children walking to the local schools and particularly those in the nursery and infants school. My son went to this nursery during the 1990s and developed asthma soon afterwards, which may have been exacerbated by air pollution.

The local doctors and schools are already oversubscribed. It is always difficult to get a GP appointment, so with a possible 500 or more residents pressure on these resources will be increased.

The risk of flooding will be increased due to water run-off. There has been extensive flooding in Dinas Powys recently and removal of hedges and trees will increase the risk. It will also lead to loss of wildlife and habitats.

Q2: No impact

School, GP and transport links need to be in place prior to development. Current infrastucture isnt able to handle additional housing

This is not suitable area as infastructure isnt in place. No additional services of schools, GP, roads and paths have been put in place. Access issues and increased traffic further to what is already a bottleneck.

I am writing as a concerned resident of Dinas Powys, regarding the proposed development of 250 dwellings off Cardiff Road.

There is simply not sufficient infrastructure or capacity in place to support this number of additional residents, and therefore vehicles, in this location. This particular location is one of the worst positions in the Vale for traffic, with the single lane and traffic lights not allowing enough traffic flow and causing significant disruption at any time where there may be a heavier flow of traffic.

Unless this infrastructure and capacity is addressed, whether that be an additional traffic lane by allowing the bus lane to be used by general traffic outside of peak times, or adding an additional lane by purchasing some of the (apparently) readily available land alongside Cardiff Rd, this would cause chaos every morning, school pick up and drop off and 5-7pm every day.

As you are well aware, Dinas is already used as a through-route for Barry residents gaining access to Cardiff, adding an additional 500-1000 vehicles in a single lane, in a small village area will be catastrophic to the area.

In addition to the additional traffic, lessons should have been learned from the Taylor Wimpey development in Sully, which caused catastrophic surface water to flood residents homes. These large developers do not care about the communities that they build in; they care about the money that they can make. It is absolutely abhorrent that Council revenue is being put above tax paying residents best interests.

Myself and fellow residents highly doubt you will consider any of our responses, and that this is already a done deal, which is obviously very concerning. It’s felt that this is more of an engagement exercise for you, instead of a ‘consultation’. However, I needed to address mine and the concerns of fellow residents given the opportunity.

My wife and myself write to object to the planning and development of the proposed site of 250 houses at Eastbrook Dinas Powis, it is certainly not wanted or required.

The Council considered the content of the plan at its meeting on 19 February 2026 and its main concern relates to the proposed housing development of housing off Cardiff Road. The Council is very concerned about the additional traffic generation and its impact on the Merrie Harrier junction which could potentially lead to excessive traffic generation at the junction which will adversely impact the communities of Llandough, Dinas Powys and Penarth and beyond. It is considered that the junction would not have the functionality to deal with the additional traffic.

Please don't waste Council time objecting to the principle of this but get the quality right and upgrade the junction between Llandough and Penarth.

HG1 KS2

Strongly object to the dinas powys 250 new homes plan Will have many deletarious effetcs on local area + community in dinas powys Increased traffic, stress on local public services (GP, NHS + schools), loss of village identity and reduced greenbelt. In summary, negative affect on local community.

I would like to register my objection to there being any further housing developments in Dinas Powys.
Please do not go ahead with this terrible idea of more houses in a village that is already over capacity.

Increased traffic, stress on local public services (GP, NHS + schools), loss of village identity and reduced greenbelt. In summary, negative affect on local community.

I am completely AGAINST this new build. There will be congestion issues. You cannot get out of Dinas Powys towards Merrier Harriers due to queuing. Another possible 250 cars multiply by two per household accessing Cardiff Road especially at peak times of the day.
Water levels will be affected. Already problems.

Can’t fill in the form to strongly disagree to the building of houses on Cardiff Rd. What a stupid idea it is.
