    Town Tree Cover in Bridgend County Borough

    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

' PREFACE The author published a monograph on " St. Asaph Cathedral in 1896, which has formed the basis of the present handbook. The historical documents are few, and the surviving evidence of the past with regard to our smallest cathedral is scanty at the best. The chief books of reference have been Browne Willis's valuable "Survey of St. Asaph,'' published in 1720, also Edwards' edition of the same published at Wrexham in 1801, and the learned work by the Ven. Archdeacon Thomas, M.A., F.S.A., on " The Diocese of St. Asaph." " Storer's Cathedrals," pub- lished in i8ig, together with similar works, have also been consulted.

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’. The analysis provides an overall picture for Bridgend and also a more localised examination of issues by splitting the Borough into smaller areas (see overleaf for a map of the area covered and analysis areas used).

    FINAL PROPOSALS Community No. M25 - LLANFIHANGEL Introduction 1. The present community of Llanfihangel lies in the Montgomeryshire hill country, where the terrain rarely rises above 1,000 feet. A number of watercourses and their valleys criss-cross the community: to the south the upper reaches of the river Efyrnwy and its small tributaries the nentydd Dolwar and Llwydiarth, and in the north the valley of the nant Alan. Likewise, a number of routes criss-cross the landscape: the B4382, B4395 and the B4393 being the main, with all but the latter, which leads to Lake Vyrnwy, being of little more than local importance. Llanfihangel and Dolanog are defined as small villages in the Powys Unitary Development Plan. The remainder of the population of this community lives in scattered farms and dwellings and in the rural settlement of Pont Llogel (Llwydiarth). 2. The community has a population of 516, an electorate of 410 (2005) and a council of 8 members. The precept required for 2005 is £3,200, representing a Council Tax Band D equivalent of £12.81. 3. In the 1986 Review the Local Government Boundary Commission for Wales redrew the southern boundary of this community to include the settlement of Dolanog and its surrounding area within the new community of Llanfihangel.
