This outcome serves as a testament to the persistence of our community in protecting our local landscape and managing our shared environmental concerns. We should remain vigilant to ensure the land remains protected for the future.

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.

This area cannot cope with the influx of new residents as it is, doctors surgeries and schools are already struggling. Also what's going to happen to the herons, geese and other animals using that area? Not every green space needs a new housing estate surely!

This is on a flood plain It has already been rejected why don't they build on Cwm Colliery site Is it because it would cost too much money to eradicate all the. chemical pollution in the ground so decreasing their profits

Anymore houses being built in the area will add more pressure to the already stretched local facilities. Four week wait for a doctors apppointment. School class numbers rising. Long queues on bypass every morning.

Crown Hill is such a busy road but is still a a B classified road .We live towards the top of the hill and cars are doing at least 40mph by the time they pass us . The extra traffic this estate would generate would be catastrophic for local residents.

Signing this as we do not have the the infrastructure in highways schools and doctors to be able.to cope with 450+ houses. Also the land is a known flood risk. Hence the precious application was denied. Nothing has changed it is still a flood risk.

I am staggered by the cynical approach taken by Llanmoor in resubmitting this application totally disregarding both local residents and the planning process. Who do they think they are? This has to be opposed at all costs.

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 proposal is pure madness! We do not have the infrastructure to support this development and the knock on effects will be detrimental to not just the existing residents but also the wildlife, where tens of thousands of pounds have been spent putting in place measures to protect!!
