Penarth Town Council SAYS NO  

Penarth Town Council –

That the application should not be approved for the following reasons:- 

1. Overdominant form of development that could threaten the future of the listed buildings, Custom House and Marine Building. 

2. Overcrowded form of development. 

3. Detrimental to this iconic headland known as the Bears Head believed to be where the name of Penarth is derived.

4. Request the Vale Council’s own ecology officer carry out a comprehensive ecology survey as it is considered that the submitted survey is inadequate. Local Knowledge is aware of an extensive and active bat population. 

5. The loss of so many mature trees is also of concern. If the Vale Council is minded to approved the application the Town Council wishes to reserve the right to comment at a later date with regard to any S106 agreement and the community needs within the locality.
