Each proposal of the LDP Deposit needs to be commented on separately. There is no limit to the number of LDP proposals you can comment on, and every comment counts. It is proposed in the LDP to extend the St Nicholas 30 mph speed limit eastwards towards Cardiff into an area presently controlled by the national 60 mph speed limit in order to allow a new junction to be constructed to allow access to a proposed housing development MG 2 (43) - 100 dwellings. This will inevitably lead to longer journey times between Cardiff and Cowbridge and other settlements in the Vale of Glamorgan. The council has said that it wants to improve bus journey times, but extending the 30 mph zone, adding an extra junction and possibly a new bus stop ( so the new development is within the stated desirable 200 metres of a bus stop, will increase bus journey times. In the LDP, the council has identified the road at St Nicholas as "S10"/WS2, when infact, the road is a UAP3 - Urban All-purpose road with frontage access, more than two side roads per kilometre, and at-grade pedestrian crossings. A UAP3 has significantly less capacity than a WS2 or UAP1 (which have fewer junctions).
