Welsh Government still weighing up call-in decision for major 500-home Vale scheme

The Welsh Government is still considering whether to call in plans for a large housing development in the Vale of Glamorgan. The proposed 567-home scheme at Upper Cosmeston Farm has been approved by the council, but awaits a decision from the Welsh Government. The land was put up for sale in 2023 with a focus on energy efficiency and sustainability. Concerns have been raised about the impact on local services and agricultural land, while supporters highlight the need for affordable housing. The call-in request is currently under review by officials, with a decision pending.
