We, the undersigned, urge Rhondda Cynon Taf County Borough Council to refuse planning permission for Llanmoor Homes' development at Ystrad Barwig Farm in Llantwit Fardre.

Given that the proposed development is outside the settlement boundary and located in the countryside, we believe that it will have a detrimental effect on the environment and exasperate pre-existing flooding concerns.

We are extremely concerned that it is a proposal that is not included within the County Borough's Local Development Plan, has previously been rejected for inclusion within the LDP, and has recently been refused by the Welsh Government.
