Indeed, the Vale of Glamorgan has over 100 Scheduled Ancient Monuments, over 700 Listed Buildings and 38 Conservation Areas that are afforded statutory protection by legislation. However, this system of statutory recognition, by its nature, only takes account of items of exceptional significance. Often there are locally important buildings that although acknowledged not to be of ‘national’ or ‘exceptional’ importance, are considered key examples of vernacular architecture or buildings, which have an important local history. It is these buildings which are often the main contributors to local distinctiveness, but which have to date, remained un-surveyed and afforded little recognition or protection. The original County Treasures project was published by the then South Glamorgan County Council in the late 1970’s. It was conceived as a locally adopted inventory of ‘special features’ in the former County area. However, as a result of local government restructuring, the changes to local authority boundaries, as well as changes in responsibilities and funding mechanisms the survey was never completed, and as a consequence was not comprehensive in its coverage.

INTRODUCTION 1.1 Planning Policy Wales [PPW] (Fourth edition, 2011) requires Local Development Plans [LDPs] sustainable settlement strategies to be informed by an assessment of settlements to ensure they accord with the sustainable location principles contained within national planning policy (see PPW Section 4.6 Sustainable settlement strategy: locating new development). 1.2 As part of the evidence base for the Vale of Glamorgan LDP, the Council has undertaken an audit of services and facilities within the Vale of Glamorgan’s settlements in order to identify those which are potentially suitable to accommodate additional development in terms of their location, role and function. This assessment therefore forms part of the evidence base for the Vale of Glamorgan LDP Settlement Hierarchy by identifying broad groupings of settlements with similar roles and functions based upon the following research objectives: Objective 1: To assess the need for residents to commute beyond their settlement to access key employment, retail and community facilities (including education and health). Objective 2: To measure the general level of accessibility of settlements by sustainable transport.

Introduction 1.1 The purpose of this background paper is to provide information on the Vale of Glamorgan Local Development Plan (LDP) candidate site assessment process. The document will be used as evidence to support the Councils’ position on the inclusion or omission of sites for development within the LDP. This paper sets out the candidate site process, methodology and the findings of the assessment process. 2. The Candidate Site Process 2.1 The Council invited developers, landowners and other interested parties to nominate “candidate sites” for potential inclusion in the emerging LDP between 4 December 2006 and 31 January 2007. Late submissions were accepted until the 27 February 2008. All sites received were subject to the Council’s Candidate Site Assessment. In total 410 submissions1 were received for a range of uses including residential, employment, minerals and renewable energy. All of the candidate sites were compiled into a register which can be viewed on the Council’s website at: http://www.valeofglamorgan.gov.uk/ldp 3. Candidate Site Methodology 3.1 The Council’s candidate site assessment methodology was developed to enable the Council to assess sites against a number of planning, environmental, physical and deliverability criteria.

    And Aerospace Business Park (ABP) - St Athan Non-Technical Summary

    1 Defence Technical College (DTC) and Aerospace Business Park (ABP) - St Athan Non-Technical Summary Purpose of this Non-Technical Summary This Non-Technical Summary forms part of the Environmental Statement (ES) that is associated with two outline planning applications which are being made to facilitate the major redevelopment of MoD St Athan in South Wales. The proposals include the development of a Defence Technical College (DTC) and Aerospace Business Park (ABP) which are being promoted by Metrix (the Ministry of Defence’s (MoD) preferred bidder for the provision of the DTC) and the Welsh Assembly Government for the ABP. Entec UK Ltd is acting as lead consultant responsible for the production of the documentation associated with the ES. This Non-Technical Summary describes: • The proposed development; • The Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) process; • The existing environment in and around the site of the proposed DTC and ABP; • The environmental and mitigation measures incorporated within the proposals; and • The likely significant effects of the development. Site Location The St Athan development site is located in south-east Wales, within the administrative district of the Vale of Glamorgan, approximately 8 miles west of Barry and 12 miles south-east of Bridgend. The site benefits from good transport links, being situated approximately 4 miles west of Cardiff Airport and approximately 14 miles south of Junction 33 of the M4. The administrative centre for the Vale of Glamorgan is Barry, with other medium-sized settlements including the towns of Llantwit Major, Penarth and Cowbridge situated within the administrative boundary. Smaller villages are located in the immediate area surrounding the site including the villages of Llanmaes, Flemingston, Gileston, Boverton and the hamlet of Picketston.
