Rhagor o fanylion
Model Farm was included in the Green Wedge by the council as part of policy to preserve from future build and speculative development, to ensure green space between urban areas.
Welsh Government declared a Climate Emergency in 2019, Vale of Glamorgan declared a Nature emergency in July 2021.
Development is not financially viable, as advised by an L&G representative and an independent assessment.
There is no evidence of demand.
There are recently vacated local brown field sites; no need to build on green spaces as per Government policy.
Part of the farm is to be gifted away, placing demand on the public purse for maintenance that are currently managed and productive.
It lies next to the last build Victorian viaduct. Building will obliterate the view and part of local heritage.
Public funds will be needed to build infrastructure and transport hub. Traffic increase to the area will impact the rural Vale.
Sewerage facilities at Cog Moors do not have facility to manage the site resulting in further release of raw sewerage into local seas.
Pam gwrthodwyd y ddeiseb hon?
Mae’n ymwneud â rhywbeth nad yw’r Senedd na Llywodraeth Cymru yn gyfrifol amdano.
Dim ond deisebau nad ydynt yn bodloni’r safonau ar gyfer deisebau y byddwn yn eu gwrthod
Mae deisebau a wrthodwyd yn cael eu cyhoeddi yn yr iaith y cawsant eu cyflwyno ynddi
