This is a petition to stop the new LPD at the vale of glamorgan from encompassing the land that is being run by smallholders at michaelston le pit.

We feel that the extension of the SLA will severely effect our businesses and our livestock, we need reasonable accommodation for stock and feed, medicines, etc. and access to the land expecially for the disabledand the SLA will severely encroach on our businesses even forcing some of us to go out of business.

it will also effect the people who enjoy walking though and seeing various livestock and people actually working the land by hand and the many different methods of agricultural work.

I have been busy putting together a formal response to the council regarding the encroachment on our smallholdings. It is truly humbling to see such a dedicated group of people caring about this land and the work we do here.

I would like the use of the land to remain as it is, with small busineses using it in a caring way. It's good to see the land I used to play in as a child being used in the way it is. So please do not extend the SLA to include this area, the busineses there need some accomodation for the stock and feed etc and without it they would not be able to function properly

Please don't extend the SLA - the people on the land already do amazing things for the vulnerable and less abled in the community and the SLA extension will force all that good work to come to an end.

I wish to see the SLA at cwrt-yr-ala basin removed. This will effect my small agricultural business and effectively put me out of business. I own and run a small cattle business which i require a building as well as a road for my cattle and storage of feed, medicines etc, by making my land in which i own as a SLA will have a dramatic effect on my business and as previously stated will most likely end up with my business being closed down. As a young agricultural farmer who is attempting to run a business that is economically, environmentally and most importantly sustainable i find the NEW UDP plan to be unsustainable and damaging to myself and the community who run small agricultural businesses.

You should let the small holders keep their land! They are doing good work with the vulnerable in the community and bought their land in good faith. They should be allowed to continue with this

The land should not be changed. It is a beautiful area and it is enjoyed by many people as it is. The land is worked by hand, and it would be a shame to loose these traditional farming methods. There is enough change in this world. We should be doing all we can to preserve these methods, not destroy them

The SLA should not be extended onto this land. The land is currently being used to host small holdings that benefit the community. To loose these traditional farming methods would be a great loss.

The land is used by smallholders successfully to the benefit of the community. It would be to the detriment of the community if these small holdings were removed.
