An application for more than 100 homes to be built on greenspace in Vale of Glamorgan has been lodged. Months after a pre-application notice was published by Redrow Homes on their intention to build 105 in Cowbridge, a planning application has been made to Vale of Glamorgan Council.
The proposed location for the homes - 42 of which would be affordable if approved - is land between Windmill Lane and St Athan Road. The period of time for the landowner or tenant to make any representation on the plans came to a close on September 12.
Chief among the concerns of residents so far are the loss of green space and agricultural land, potential over-development and the potential impact on biodiversity and ecology on site. Cowbridge with Llanblethian Town Council also raised similar objections on top of concerns about the potential impact on traffic in the area, a perceived lack of infrastructure and adequate services to meet an increase in demand and potential issues in relation to drainage and flooding.
