    THE LLANCARFAN SOCIETY Newsletter 107 October 2001 Editorial It seems an age since I completed the last Newsletter, probably because the world has erupted into such violence during the past two months. We must hope against hope that some semblance of normality will return soon, freeing the world from both terrorism and terror. On a much more mundane level, may I ask for some contributions for the Newsletter? Years ago we almost came to an end, scraping the barrel to fill the pages. Then, for inexplicable reasons, we had plenty of material which lasted until last summer. Suddenly, my files have emptied, so what about it? I would be happy to consider a wider variety of topics, if only to get rid of my own name as a bye-line on so many articles! We have only rarely featured anything I would consider as creative writing so that field is open, whilst accounts of current activities in the village are always welcomed by expatriates. My address is on the back page! People and places Cancer Research For the second successive year Ann Ferris took part in "Race for Life" in Cardiff's Bute Park, starting at 9.30 on 11th July 2001. Approximately 6500 women participated and Ann completed the walk in 44 minutes. Thanks to friends (not forgetting family) near and far, £101.00 has been denoted to the Imperial Cancer Research Fund. Cardiff International Airport and TBI, the firm that runs it, seem trouble fraught indeed. After making a take-over bid in early September, the French Construction Company, Vinci, has now withdrawn its offer, which had already been accepted by TBI shareholders.

Introduction 1.1. This topic paper is one of a series produced by the Vale of Glamorgan as part of the evidence base for the Deposit Local Development Plan (LDP). Each topic paper can be read in isolation or together to gain a wider understanding of how the policies and/or allocations in the LDP have been developed to address issues facing the Vale of Glamorgan. It considers the requirements for the Vale of Glamorgan LDP in respect of the housing land supply needed to address the population forecasts during the Plan period. Further details on the Council’s population projections for the Vale of Glamorgan are set out in a separate background paper entitled ‘Population and Housing Projections’ (2011) 2. The Vale of Glamorgan LDP Strategic Housing Objective and Policy 2.1. The LDP recognises that one of the greatest demands for development land during the Plan period will come from the provision of housing to meet future changes in population growth.

  • St Athan at Route July21
    St Athan Active Travel route Consultation report 16 July 2021 Introduction Public consultation was undertaken on the Vale of Glamorgan Council’s proposals to upgrade the existing footway provision into a shared use footway/cycleway from St Athan village to Eglwys Brewis between June and July 2021. Consultation Activities The following activities were undertaken to promote the consultation: • Letter drop to properties in the vicinity of the scheme • Site notices in the vicinity of the scheme • Email to stakeholders and statutory consultees • Press release • Information on the Council Active Travel webpage • Social media An online survey was provided to record consultation responses. Paper copies of the survey were also made available on request. Consultation Results Despite a mail drop to 800 houses in the vicinity, only 22 responses were received. 72% of which were in favour of the scheme. We can only assume that the majority of the 800 houses that had a mail dropped letter informing them of the consultation, are not against the proposed schemes. Changes to the Scheme for consideration: Following scheme consultation, the following changes to the scheme will be considered when construction is undertaken: • Existing street lighting provisions will be reviewed and upgraded where necessary, therefore providing street lighting across the scheme extents. • A possible footway / crossing facility option from the Clive Road junction across to the proposed shared use footway on the Western side will be reviewed, however the close proximity of trees and their roots will need to be considered and could affect the possible installation of any improvements in this location. Consultation comments Three questions were asked on the consultation survey.

FILLING THE GAPS: THE IRON AGE IN CARDIFF AND THE VALE OF GLAMORGAN Abstract Over the last 20 years interpretive approaches within Iron Age studies in Britain have moved from the national to the regional. This was an important development which challenged the notion that a unified, British, Iron Age ever existed. However, whilst this approach has allowed regional histories to be told in their own right there has been far too much focus on ‘key’ areas such as Wessex and Yorkshire.

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.
