SD92 Landscape Working for Bridgend County Borough Volume Landscapes Working for Bridgend County Borough Volume 3 - Action Programme March 2008 _____________________________________________ _____________________________________________ LANDSCAPES WORKING FOR BRIDGEND COUNTY BOROUGH ACTION PROGRAMME 2008 1. Introduction 1.1 The Action Programme forms the fourth phase of the review of the Landscapes Working for Bridgend County Borough Action Plan Document. The phases comprise of: Phase I – Compilation of Short List of sites Phase II – Prioritisation Phase III - WAG Sustainability Check Phase IV – Preparation of Action Programme. Table 1 lists those sites short-listed for inclusion in the action plan. Their location is identified in Figure 1 below. Figure 1 Site Locations 2. Background 2.1 The document Landscapes Working for Bridgend County Borough was originally published in 1997 by Opus Environmental Design. However the Action Programme that formed Volume 3 of the study is now considered outdated and has required updating. The list of priority projects has evolved from the original LW for B document with additional sites being included that have originated from meetings held between Groundwork, officers of Bridgend County Borough Council and Welsh Assembly Government during the year 2006. The prioritisation exercise formed phases 1 and 2 of the Landscapes Working for Bridgend project. This report forms part of the WAG (DEIN) funded Bridgend Environment Programme. 3. Objectives 3.1 The Action Programme details the key proposals with priority and feasibility ratings, outline cost estimates and yearly expenditure profiles. 3.2 The Action Programme is to be used to inform the Local Authority’s Environmental Improvement Programme and has therefore been prepared with regard to the Local Authority’s existing policies and ongoing schemes. 3.3 The report has been developed with guidance provided by the Welsh Assembly’s ‘Creating Sustainable Places’ document, in order to promote sustainable development. 3.4 The Action Programme provides a comprehensive range of environmental improvement schemes that, when implemented, will have a considerable beneficial impact on the County Borough. In addition to increasing bio-diversity, the schemes will also contribute to providing a safe and pleasant environment that promotes cycling, walking and other recreational activities within the County Borough. 3.5 The Action Programme provides proposals that will address: • The visual and material quality of improvement projects, accentuating a distinctive identity for the County Borough. The proposals reflect the importance of telling the story of the landscape, people, places, attractions, facilities within the landscape of the study area. • Opportunities for public art are integral to the Action Programme as they provide a means by which local people can be engaged in the project and reflect the history and aspirations of the community. • The Action Programme provides opportunities for large scale habitat/species projects that benefit in the delivery of TREBAP and LBAP targets. • Accessibility issues for all users of the highway including pedestrians, cyclists, disabled users and motor vehicles are addressed within the proposals. Opportunities for sustainable modes of transport are incorporated into the proposals. • The Action Programme identifies opportunities for improving access to the landscape and in promoting healthy living for people living in the Borough. 2.0 ACTION PROGRAMME SUMMARY General The sites are listed in Table 1 with their locations shown on Figure 1. The Action Programme makes an assessment of each site which is summarised in Table 1. The sites are assessed under the following categories: Priority The sites are prioritised in order of those that will have the most impact in upgrading the image of the borough combined with community value. A: first priority to C: low priority. Ease of implementation Those sites that are least likely to encounter difficulty due to ownership, permissions, funding etc are graded 1 through to the most difficult, graded 3. Type of scheme The following types are: A Access e.g. Community route E Employment Site EI Environmental interpretation/tourism/recreation H Housing MR Major Roads O Open Spaces RE Reclamation RA Rail RI Rivers SR Secondary Roads Implementation Partners: Bodies who may be involved in designing, implementing, owning or funding a scheme are included. These are: BCB Bridgend County Borough Council CCW Countryside Council for Wales FC Forestry Commission GW Groundwork Bridgend and Neath Port Talbot EA Environment Agency PB Private Body WAG Welsh Assembly Government CD Cadw Capital Cost: The capital cost shown is based on site area and on a unit area cost. It does not comprise a detailed estimate. Three years maintenance is included within the cost. Maintenance Cost: Annual maintenance estimate after initial three year establishment period.

The dual carriage way is flanked by close mown verges and a grassed central reservation. There is no visual separation of the carriageway from the surrounding landscape. The frontage of the Police Headquarters comprises of a visually poor boundary treatment with planting limited to shrubs and trees to the rear car park. Native tree and shrub planting to the frontage of the Superstore car park and petrol station reduces the visual impact of these buildings. A recent native planting scheme fronts the Adult Training Centre and Council Offices on the south side of the bypass. Proposals Landscape improvements to the A473 road corridor need to be bold in their approach to integrate the road with the surrounding landscape. The hard landscape of the road corridor requires softening through tree and shrub planting that separates the east bound and west bound carriageway. This approach should include: • Planting of native species hedgerow along the central reservation, incorporating bare-stemmed avenue trees to provide a visual barrier but allowing views through. • Block planting of native trees and shrubs to the larger grass verges, to soften and frame views and increase biodiversity. • Alter mowing regime to promote the growth of wild flowers thereby increasing biodiversity and reducing maintenance. • Landscape improvements scheme to Police Head Quarters to enhance roadside frontage and soften car park through native tree and shrub planting. • Retain existing areas of native planting in new planting proposals, incorporating these areas into a management regime.

Background 1.3 Currently in the Garw Valley as with all other areas in Bridgend, sports and community groups are considering the transfer of sports and community venues and assets from the Council, through the Community Asset Transfer (CAT) process. 1.4 Some of the assets within the Garw Valley are in a poor state of repair and well below an acceptable standard. The cost of repairing and maintaining these assets is beyond the reach of many of the sport and community groups and therefore a potential solution is being sought to ensure that sporting and community activities are not lost. 1.5 To support the CAT process, Reach has already produced a ‘Rural Community Asset Transfer Toolkit’ which provides groups with a step by step guide to asset transfer and also commissioned a report ‘Review of Sustainable Community Venues and Assets in Bridgend County Borough’, which provides a detailed understanding of the issues faced by groups who both currently are or are considering managing/owning/leasing community facilities.

  • 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. Figure 1 above shows the county borough’s main roads and settlements Support for business in Bridgend County Borough Bridgend County Borough falls within the West Wales and Valleys area for European regional aid purposes.

Dead end valley, elevated to +200m with a distinctive microclimate. - Community First areas at: - Bettws – population 2,327 - Llangeinor – population 1,161 - Settlements along valley floor, the key settlements Pontycymer and Blaengarw have merged. - Outlier settlement at Bettws, detached from the valley floor and set in open countryside, includes social housing area owned and managed by Valleys to Coast (V2C). - Long runs of poor condition roadside railing. - Empty shops, steel shutters at Pontycymer, lifted by townscape improvements (including street tree planting, seating). - Occasional poor building design but usually at key locations eg. gateway at Pantygog, adjacent to Blaengarw village square, Richard Price Centre Llangeinor (a replacement building & upgraded environs are programmed). - Hub for residents is Pontycymer, providing supermarket, leisure centre. - Hub for visitors is Bryngarw Country Park (run down, outdated visitor facilities, not easy to find but is near Sustrans route, is the start of the Garw Valley community route and links to Sustrans route 4). - No gateway role as the valley is a dead end. - Community route for cycling, follows river – management is complicated by ownership/tenancy split, capital investment is needed to upgrade boundaries & key detractors such as poor environment around Pontycymer leisure centre.
