Vale of Glamorgan Local Development Plan 2011-2026
Matters Arising Changes Consultation Representation Form
Data Protection
How your representation and the information that you give us will be used.
All information submitted will be seen in full by the Vale of Glamorgan Council staff dealing with
the Local Development Plan (LDP). Your name and comments as set out in your representation
form will be published in due course. This helps to show that the consultation was carried out
properly. Please note that this form and any supporting information will be forwarded to the
Inspector for consideration.
As part of the Examination into the Vale of Glamorgan LDP, a number of Matters Arising
Changes have been proposed to the written statement and proposals map. These changes are
set out in the Matters Arising Changes (MAC) Schedule. The Council has also updated the
Sustainability Appraisal (SA) (incorporating Strategic Environmental Assessment) and Habitats
Regulations Assessment (HRA) (Appropriate Assessment Report) to reflect the proposed
changes. All of the MAC consultation documents can be viewed on the Council’s website
www.valeofglamorgan.gov.uk/ldp, at the Council’s Dock and Civic offices in Barry and Alps
Depot Wenvoe and at all local libraries during normal opening hours.
The consultation on the MAC schedule, MAC SA and MAC HRA commences on Friday
16th September 2016 and ends at midnight on Friday 28th October 2016. It is important to
note that all comments made in previous LDP consultations have already been considered by
the Inspector as part of the Examination. Comments at this stage must therefore only relate to
the MACs and this is not an opportunity to add to or make new comments to the Deposit LDP.

Guidance Notes.
This form should only be used to make comments on the MAC Schedule. A separate form is

comments on this form. If additional sheets as required please clearly number each additional
sheet and securely attach them to this form.

Where a group shares a common view on a MAC, the Council will accept a signed
petition. In submitting a representation form on behalf of a group, the representation form
should include the contact details of the lead individual in Part 1 and the comments should be
clearly set out on the representation form. The signed petition should clearly state how many
people are being represented and how the representation has been authorised. Signing a
petition does not prevent the submission of individual forms.

Part 3: What Happens Next?
At this stage of the LDP process, you can only make comments in writing (these are called 'written
representations'). However, the Inspector may decide that further Hearing Sessions are necessary as a
result of the Matters Arising Changes consultation to more fully consider any issues raised. In the event
that additional Hearing Sessions are arranged you should indicate on the form whether you would like to
participate and speak at any future Hearing Session(s). You should bear in mind that your written
comments on this form will be given the same weight by the Inspector as those made verbally at any
future Hearing Session(s).
All representations received by the closing date will be forwarded directly to the Inspector for
consideration. Please note that the Council will not be responding to duly made representations.
3a. Do you want your comments to be considered by ‘written representations’ or do you want to
speak at any additional hearing sessions? (If requested by the Inspector) (Please tick one of the
following)
I do not want to speak at a hearing session and am happy for my written comments to
be considered by the Inspector.

I want to speak at a hearing session.
