The council rejected the plans for Cwm Isaf Farm and the development will not proceed. We stopped this expansion by staying organized throughout the planning process. Keep an eye on local council agendas to ensure no new attempts are made on this site.

We, the undersigned, urge Rhondda Cynon Taf County Borough Council to refuse planning permission for Taylor Wimpey's proposed 350 house development at Cwm Isaf Farm in Efail Isaf.
Given that the proposed development is outside the settlement boundary and located in the countryside, we believe that it will have a detrimental impact on the environment and see the erosion of a Special Landscape Area. We are also extremely concerned that it is a proposal that is not included within the County Borough's Local Development Plan, and had previously been rejected for inclusion.
We believe that it will put further undue pressure on the area's highway infrastructure, local services, and, most important of all, lacks sustainability.

We need to hit one hundred signatures before the council officials start their review. Send the link to three people in your neighborhood and tell them why this development ruins our landscape.

The way it's going we will have NO green fields left in Rhondda Cynon Taff. It's going to be like Grows Faen they are putting up a big development over there and don't think of the impact it has on small village's or roads. PLEASE don't leave our future generations without any green fields.
We don't have the infrastructure to support more housing developments. The sewerage system can not cope, the primary schools have huge class sizes, it is virtually impossible to see a doctor, the traffic congestion leads to poor air quality, more habitats for wildlife will be destroyed...
The sewerage and drainage systems in the village are too old fashioned to cope with the present size of the village, let alone the addition of anew development. Our drains in Heol y Ffynnon are blocked on a regular basis, at least once a fortnight.
The infrastructure can not handle the increase traffic. The bottle necks to the A470 and Talbot Green mean that the morning and evening traffic is too heavy currently. Adding to this can not be an option.
The infrastructure cannot sustain further development: Road congestion, air pollution, overstretched medical services and schools. The national shortage of GPs makes the prosposal to build a medical centre a complete nonsense.
Until the current roads/infrastructure and pressure on the public services is reduced then no further housing developments can proceed as it's squeezing the life out of the community and services involved with the already over population of the area.

This development would double the size of the village. I'm not against small developments. The roads, local doctors surgeries, schools could not cope with a development of this size in Efail Isaf.
