This approach should avoid the need for repetition within some of the policies. OrganisationCouncils It is intrinsicRepresentor that the Name: LDP in Countrysideits totality will be Councilused by Msthe for Karen Council Wales Maddock-Jones to guide and manage development, providing a basis for consistent development. As part of the Plan-led Response system, the Planning and Compulsory Purchase Act 2004 requires that the determination of planning applications for development must be in accordance with the Development Plan unless material considerations indicate otherwise. It is therefore implicit, within what a development plan is and its purpose in accordance with the Act, that regard should be made to the whole Plan, including all its Policies. The statement is therefore superfluous. Representor 54 D 2 Chapter No Chapter 1 - Introduction & Background Response Objection Organisation Countryside Council for Wales Section No 1.1 - Introduction PolicyNo/Paragraph 1.1.2 Summary of The Planning and Compulsory Purchase Act 2004 requires local authorities to have regard to the Wales Spatial Plan. There is no requirement for them to build upon and Comments add value to the Wales Spatial Plan. Bullet point 2 should therefore be amended to more accurately reflect the provisions of the Act and National policy.

It should also be read in conjunction with Background Paper1: The National, Regional and Local Context which provides a more comprehensive review which includes the reference to the River Basin Management Plan (RBMP); the Catchment Flood Management Plan (CFMP) and Water Framework Directive (WFD). Representor 64 D 18 Chapter No Chapter 1 - Introduction & Background Response Objection Organisation Welsh Government Section No 1.6 - Key Issues in Bridgend County Borough PolicyNo/Paragraph 1.6 Summary of Welsh Language should form part of the overall assessment when preparing the plan, ensuring that the principle of development is not decanted to the planning Comments application stage. We note that the plan is silent on this matter and seek clarification that in this instance the matter has not been overlooked. OrganisationCouncils ConsiderationRepresentor of the Name: Welsh WelshLanguage Government is now detailedMr in BackgroundMark Newey Paper 1:The National, Regional and Local Context which concluded that given the relatively low levels Response of welsh language use across the County Borough, it is not considered that major development proposals will materially affect the linguistic balance of the area, to the detriment of welsh language use. It is therefore considered that this issue will not be addressed by specific policies in the LDP. However, under the provisions of TAN20, the welsh language will remain a material consideration in the development management decision making process. Representor 851 D 14 Chapter No Chapter 1 - Introduction & Background Response Objection Organisation Redrow Homes Section No 1.6 - Key Issues in Bridgend County Borough PolicyNo/Paragraph 1.6.3 Summary of The representor considers that an additional NR should be included to read as follows: Comments NR8 Pencoed should maintain and enhance its role as a strategic employment hub, complimented with an appropriate level of housing growth.

Representor 851 D 13 Chapter No Chapter 1 - Introduction & Background Response Objection Organisation Redrow Homes Section No 1.6 - Key Issues in Bridgend County Borough PolicyNo/Paragraph NR 1 Summary of Given its strategic importance, it is considered that Pencoed should be recognised alongside Bridgend, Porthcawl and Maesteg as a hub for services, employment, Comments housing and retail developments in NR1 as well as recognised as a settlement for growth throughout the Plan. The representor considers that NR1 should be amended to read: NR1 Recognition that Bridgend, Maesteg, Pencoed and Porthcawl-Pyle act as hubs for services, employment, housing and retail development, whose success will spread prosperity to their surrounding communities. The representor considers that this would reflect the recognition of Pencoed alongside Bridgend, Maesteg and Porthcawl in terms of employment, retail and community role, self containment and sustainable travel and included within a list of settlements they considered should be ‘ the focus of future development in the County Borough’.

  • 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

    The Diocese of Llandaff Bywoliaeth Laleston a Merthyr Mawr gyda Pen-y-Fai The Benefice of Laleston and Merthyr Mawr with Pen-y-Fai Annual Report (for the year ending 31st December 2019) 1 Bywoliaeth Laleston a Merthyr Mawr gyda Pen-y-Fai The Benefice of Laleston and Merthyr Mawr with Pen-y-Fai Annual Report for the year ending 31st December 2019 Lent 2019 – and as part of the Diocesan Lenten observances, Bishop June and our three Diocesan Archdeacons announced that 2020 – the 100th anniversary of the formation of The Church in Wales – would also be designated as a “Year of Pilgrimage”. Of course the very nature of a Pilgrimage is that it is a journey into the unknown. Pilgrimage may start with some fixed destination in mind, but how the traveller reaches that destination is anything but fixed…. and as such, a Pilgrimage becomes a journey that can take the traveller along many different, unexpected and unanticipated routes. In many ways, Pilgrimage is all about making oneself vulnerable and open to new experiences and new journeys, being receptive to the path less travelled and rendering oneself dependent on the kindness of others. 2 As such (and as the Scallop shell symbol of pilgrim routes symbolises), there will be many roads that lead to a single end- point, but Pilgrimages themselves are widely considered to be more about the journey than the destination. As I write in early February, even though the Year of Pilgrimage has begun, I think it would be fair to say that (both in our Benefice and across the Diocese) we have still yet to truly identify how it is that we can authentically engage with this initiative so that it won’t just be seen as some kind of elaborate – but largely stereotypical - means by which to celebrate our 100th birthday.

  • ROBERT GERAINT GRUFFYDD Robert Geraint Gruffydd 1928–2015
    ROBERT GERAINT GRUFFYDD Robert Geraint Gruffydd 1928–2015 GERAINT GRUFFYDD RESEARCHED IN EVERY PERIOD—the whole gamut—of Welsh literature, and he published important contributions on its com- plete panorama from the sixth to the twentieth century. He himself spe- cialised in two periods in particular—the medieval ‘Poets of the Princes’ and the Renaissance. But in tandem with that concentration, he was renowned for his unique mastery of detail in all other parts of the spec- trum. This, for many acquainted with his work, was his paramount excel- lence, and reflected the uniqueness of his career. Geraint Gruffydd was born on 9 June 1928 on a farm named Egryn in Tal-y-bont, Meirionnydd, the second child of Moses and Ceridwen Griffith. According to Peter Smith’sHouses of the Welsh Countryside (London, 1975), Egryn dated back to the fifteenth century. But its founda- tions were dated in David Williams’s Atlas of Cistercian Lands in Wales (Cardiff, 1990) as early as 1391. In the eighteenth century, the house had been something of a centre of culture in Meirionnydd where ‘the sound of harp music and interludes were played’, with ‘the drinking of mead and the singing of ancient song’, according to the scholar William Owen-Pughe who lived there. Owen- Pughe’s name in his time was among the most famous in Welsh culture. An important lexicographer, his dictionary left its influence heavily, even notoriously, on the development of nineteenth-century literature. And it is strangely coincidental that in the twentieth century, in his home, was born and bred for a while a major Welsh literary scholar, superior to him by far in his achievement, who too, for his first professional activity, had started his career as a lexicographer.

The garden occupies the monastic precinct, utilising some of its massive walling as walls for the kitchen garden. The walled sixteenth-century deer park belonging to the Tudor house survives to the south. Type of site Deer park; landscape park; informal gardens; walled kitchen garden Main phases of construction Second half of sixteenth century; 1803-05 Site description Ewenny Priory is situated on the flood plain of the Ogmore valley, just to the south of a canalized stretch of the river, to the south of Bridgend. A Benedictine Priory was founded here by Maurice de Londres of Ogmore Castle in about 1141. St Michael's church was built by William de Londres, Maurice's father, between 1116 and 1126. Later in the twelfth century, and with additions in about 1300, the substantial precinct walls and gatehouses were built, enclosing a roughly rectangular area to the south and west of the church, and giving the priory a fortified character. The house, outbuildings, and gardens were built within and incorporate parts of the monastic precinct. At the Dissolution the priory, which then had only three monks, was leased and shortly afterwards, in 1545, bought by Sir Edward Carne.

Pat Bevan-Morgan was telling me about a book by Jack Smith The Yeomen of Yore which is the story of the Glamorgan Yeomanry, the regiment of the towns and villages of the Vale of Glamorgan and the neighbouring districts, disbanded soon after the end of the First World War. The memorial “to the immortal memory of those officers, NCOs and men of the Glamorgan Yeomanry who fell in the Great War" stands on Stalling Down, outside Cowbridge. As I was to preach at a community service to commemorate the outbreak of the First World War the following Sunday in St Theodore’s Church, Kenfig Hill, I asked Pat if I could borrow the book, as I wanted to show the impact the First World War had on our communities.
