SINCE I do not live in Sully, I hesitate to comment on the internal affairs of that rapidly expanding village.

As with Dinas Powys, there has been a great deal of house building in recent decades.

I can recall those still pleasant areas as they were in the 1950s and 60s.

What caught my eye was your news coverage last week (November 3) and also on the internet of a planning application where, of a very large number of letters in support of a planning application to build houses on the BP Sports field, a proportion of them may represent forgeries.

Twenty per cent is what is surely a very rough, and possibly inaccurate, estimate.

Investigations, including by the police, must continue.

Then there are the intrinsic merits, and demerits, of the planning application itself.

Council planners are apparently minded to turn down the application, on planning grounds, irrespective of any possible administrative irregularities by some members of the public.

That would surely be a rational decision in an area already so over-developed, and with even more housing on the way, in respect of another big, planning application.

Traffic is already very congested in that area.
