The Plan, which should be read as a whole, will be used by the Council to guide and manage development, providing a basis for consistent and appropriate decision-making. ADOPTED 1.1.2 The LDP should: PLAN deliver sustainable development; build upon, and add value to the Wales Spatial Plan, and have regard to the national planning policies and guidance produced WRITTEN by the Welsh Government; STATEMENT reflect local aspirations for the County Borough, based on a vision agreed by the local community and other stakeholders; provide a basis for rational and consistent development management decisions; guide growth and change, while protecting local diversity, character, and sensitive environments; and show why, how and where change will occur over the plan period. 1.1.3 The LDP is one of four key strategies that Local Authorities in Wales have to prepare. The other three are: The Community Strategy The Children and Young People’s Plan The Health, Social Care and Wellbeing Strategy 1.1.4 The LDP is a key means of delivering the land use elements of these and other strategies. 1.2 Format of the Document Chapter 1.2.1 Chapter 1 sets out the role and purpose of the LDP 1 together with a brief summary of the Plan preparation process. It also outlines the processes of Sustainability Appraisal (SA)/ Strategic Environmental Assessment (SEA) and Habitats Page Regulations Assessment (HRA) which underpin the LDP. It highlights and summarises the Plan’s relationship with other martinphillipsstudio.com policies, plans and programmes. 1031 Cyngor Bwrdeistref Sirol r gw O r a t n o b b - - y y - - n n INTRODUCTION & BACKGROUND e e INTRODUCTION & BACKGROUND P P BRIDGEND County Borough Council BridgendBridgend LocalLocal 1.2.2 The chapter also identifies the key environmental, social 1.2.9 Chapter 9 focuses on the delivery and implementation of approach to appraisal and assessment in which economic and DevelopmentDevelopment and economic issues for the County Borough that have been the land use allocations contained in the plan and explains how social issues have been considered alongside environmental PlanPlan 2006-20212006-2021 identified through consultation and the analysis of the evidence the Council will monitor site activity through an online database. elements. base.

    1 Town Tree Cover in Bridgend County Borough Understanding canopy cover to better plan and manage our urban trees 2 Foreword Introducing a world-first for Wales is a great pleasure, particularly as it relates to greater knowledge about the hugely valuable woodland and tree resource in our towns and cities. We are the first country in the world to have undertaken a country-wide urban canopy cover survey. The resulting evidence base set out in this supplementary county specific study for Bridgend County Borough will help all of us - from community tree interest groups to urban planners and decision-makers in local Emyr Roberts Diane McCrea authorities and our national government - to understand what we need to do to safeguard this powerful and versatile natural asset. Trees are an essential component of our urban ecosystems, delivering a range of services to help sustain life, promote well-being, and support economic benefits. They make our towns and cities more attractive to live in - encouraging inward investment, improving the energy efficiency of buildings – as well as removing air borne pollutants and connecting people with nature. They can also mitigate the extremes of climate change, helping to reduce storm water run-off and the urban heat island. Natural Resources Wales is committed to working with colleagues in the Welsh Government and in public, third and private sector organisations throughout Wales, to build on this work and promote a strategic approach to managing our existing urban trees, and to planting more where they will

Data analysis and GIS mapping work. Recommendations for improving provision. This report incorporates the results of extensive research conducted in accordance with the Countryside Council for Wales (CCW) ‘Providing Accessible Natural Greenspace in Towns and Cities’ toolkit. The results of the project will be used to provide part of the evidence base for emerging local development plans (LDP) and in setting appropriate local targets for the provision of natural greenspace in accordance with Planning Policy Wales and Draft Technical Advice Note 16 ‘Sport, Recreation and Open Spaces’.

In this respect the adopted LDP complies with the guidance contained within Planning Policy Wales including in its consideration of identifying whether Bridgend County Borough has communities where the use of the Welsh language is part of its social fabric. Given the relatively low percentage of Welsh speakers across all communities within the area, it was not considered that the Plan’s major development proposals would materially affect the linguistic balance of the area to the detriment of Welsh language use. This consideration together with the soundness of other background evidence determining the strategic direction of the Plan was endorsed by the Planning Inspector as part of the LDP Examination process.

    Bridgend County Borough Profile – 2018

    Bridgend County Borough Profile – 2018 Introduction Bridgend County Borough is located in the heart of South Wales, centered between the principality’s two main cities; Cardiff to the east and Swansea to the west. The county borough is bordered by Neath Port Talbot to the west and north, Rhondda Cynon Taff also to the north and north east, and by the Vale of Glamorgan to the east. It has an area of about 25,500 hectares and has a population of 143,400 (ONS Population estimate). Extending approximately 20km from east to west, the area encompasses the Ogmore, Garw and Llynfi valleys to the north, and bordering the Bristol Channel to the south. The main commercial centres are Bridgend and Maesteg and the seaside resort of Porthcawl. Bridgend is the largest of these towns and is the administrative centre for the area. The county borough benefits from excellent transportation infrastructure with the M4 motorway crossing the southern part of the county borough in an east-west alignment, providing speedy access to Cardiff, Swansea and the rest of South Wales and beyond. There are three motorway junctions (35 – 37) within the county borough. Additionally, an inter-city high speed rail service linking the area with the whole of the national rail network provides fast and efficient rail transport whilst Cardiff Airport is only 15 miles away. Bridgend is also well connected to the sea ports, with Barry, Cardiff, Port Talbot and Swansea within 30 minutes drive-time.
