| Public Consultation | ||||||||||||||||||||
|
||||||||||||||||||||
| The project team is committed to an ongoing programme of consultation and communication with the local community.
This programme of consultation began in 2006 when the Vale of Glamorgan Council (VoGC) in partnership with Metrix, the Welsh Assembly Government and the Ministry of Defence (MOD) consulted widely on the draft St Athan Development Brief. The consultation included a public exhibition and helped shape the current draft plans for St Athan’s redevelopment. Whilst the proposals to redevelop St Athan have clearly moved forward, much of the detail is still to be agreed so there is scope for comments and ideas from within the community to be considered to help shape the evolving plans. Between now and the proposed submission of a planning application in early 2009, there will be an ongoing programme of consultation including the distribution of newsletters, a regularly updated web-site, workshops and a series of public exhibitions. A dedicated consultation phone line and e-mail address will also make it as easy as possible for comments to be made and questions asked. |

| Workshops and Interest Groups | ||||||||||||||||||||
| We will be holding a series of workshops and interest groups over the coming months which will provide an opportunity for us to discuss a number of topics in more depth with members of the local community.
The subjects of the workshops and interest groups have been identified through feedback received at the public exhibitions as key areas of interest to the local community. The first two workshops will focus on Transport and Community Facilities and the dates and locations are as follows:
These two workshops will enable attendees to find out more detailed information about the subject and allow the St Athan project team to seek the community’s views on specific elements of the draft plan for the site’s redevelopment. Two interest groups looking at Environment and Community Welfare will be held in early 2009 (dates to be confirmed soon) and will provide an opportunity for the project team to share further details and capture attendees’ opinions and views. If you would like to be involved in one or more of the workshops or interest groups please contact us to register your interest by 1 December. |

| Exhibition Update | ||||||||||||||||||||
| During July, approximately 300 members of the public attended a series of public exhibitions held over four days in St Athan, Cowbridge and Llantwit Major. These exhibitions gave members of the local community and interested parties the opportunity to talk directly with members of the St Athan team and feed back comments on the current draft pre-application plans.
The St Athan team was delighted with the strong turnout and were particularly encouraged to hear that the overwhelming majority of people are keen to see the project progress and acknowledged the benefits that the Defence Technical Academy and Aerospace Business Park will bring to the region. Since the exhibitions, many people have taken the time to make their views on the current draft plans known by completing feedback forms and we are responding by letter over the coming weeks. Comments and questions relating to transport, employment, housing and community facilities were particularly common and these views will now be considered as our plans move forward. If you were unable to attend the exhibitions, copies of all the exhibition materials are available to view in the Community Updates section of the News page. |
