  • Cardiff 19Th Century Gameboard Instructions
    Cardiff 19th Century Timeline Game education resource This resource aims to: • engage pupils in local history • stimulate class discussion • focus an investigation into changes to people’s daily lives in Cardiff and south east Wales during the nineteenth century. Introduction Playing the Cardiff C19th timeline game will raise pupil awareness of historical figures, buildings, transport and events in the locality.

  • Vale of Glamorgan Profile (Final Version at March 2017)
    A profile of the Vale of Glamorgan The Vale of Glamorgan is a diverse and beautiful part of Wales. The county is characterised by rolling countryside, coastal communities, busy towns and rural villages but also includes Cardiff Airport, a variety of industry and businesses and Wales’s largest town. The area benefits from good road and rail links and is well placed within the region as an area for employment as a visitor destination and a place to live. The map below shows some key facts about the Vale of Glamorgan. There are however areas of poverty and deprivation and partners are working with local communities to ensure that the needs of different communities are understood and are met, so that all residents can look forward to a bright future. Our population The population of the Vale of Glamorgan as per 2015 mid-year estimates based on 2011 Census data was just under 128,000. Of these, approximately 51% are female and 49% male. The Vale has a similar age profile of population as the Welsh average with 18.5% of the population aged 0-15, 61.1% aged 16-64 and 20.4% aged 65+. Population projections estimate that by 2036 the population aged 0-15 and aged 16-64 will decrease. The Vale also has an ageing population with the number of people aged 65+ predicted to significantly increase and be above the Welsh average. 1 Currently, the percentage of the Vale’s population reporting activity limitations due to a disability is one of the lowest in Wales.

It also directly affects the social, economic and environmental well being of cities, towns and villages. 1.2 The Welsh Assembly Government is committed to achieving good design in all development at every scale throughout Wales. Good design is a key aim of the planning system and Planning Policy Wales [WAG 2002] requires that Unitary Development Plans (UDPs) provide clear policies setting out planning authorities' design expectations. Technical Advice Note 12 (TAN 12) [WAG 2002A] gives advice to local planning authorities on how good design may be facilitated within the plan- ning system. 1.3 This document has been designed as a practical tool to be used by local planning authorities as supplementary planning guidance to meet the requirements of PPW and convey the design impli- cations of TAN 12 to anyone proposing new residential development in excess of 1 dwelling. It is a requirement of PPW and TAN 12 that applications for planning permission are accompanied by a 'design statement'.

In 1896 the area between the existing cemetery and the filter beds was examined which was almost immediately obtained and opened as the new cemetery with the section north of the main drive used temporarily as allotments. The farms taken over were Wedal and Lower Wedal and a property known as The Mount. The layout of the new section moved away from the ornate design to more geometric lines. 1 SCOUT.
