SD146 Children's Play Space Audit 2010 Cyngor Bwrdeistref Sirol r gw O r a t n CHILDREN’S o b - y - n e P PLAY SPACE BRIDGEND County Borough Council AUDIT 2010 Development Planning-Bridgend County Borough Council, Civic Offices Angel Street, Bridgend, CF31 4WB Telephone: 01656 643670 Summary of Findings Bridgend County Borough covers an area of approximately 25,500 hectares, with a population, at 2009, of approximately 134,200. The audit of Children’s Playing Space reveals that there is an approximate total of 69.14 hectares of land available for recreational activities. This represents on a County Borough wide basis (and based on the minimum FIT standard of 0.8 hectares per 1000 population), an overall deficiency in Children’s Playing Space of approximately 38.22 hectares. The sub-area/settlement analysis enclosed in this document is however based on the 2001 census population, due to the detail available at the local level. In geographical terms, the areas of greatest deficiency in Children’s Playing Space are the large urban centres of Bridgend, Maesteg, and Pencoed. Porthcawl and much of the Ogmore, Garw and Llynfi Valleys also illustrate a significant deficiency in provision. The only areas with a surplus of Children’s Playing Space provision are the group settlement area of Tondu/Coytrahen in the Valleys Gateway Sub-area and all of the Pyle/Kenfig/Cornelly Sub-Area, are the only areas with a surplus of. In neither area, however, is there a particular excess of provision. The 8 Sub-Areas and 13 grouped settlements (GSA’s) are illustrated in terms of deficiency and surplus by the maps below (based on the minimum FIT standard of 0.8 hectares per 1000 population):- Surplus/Deficiency by Sub-Area 1 Surplus/Deficiency by Grouped Settlement © Crown copyright.

CF31 4WB Tel. 01656 643670 [email protected] http://www.bridgend.gov.uk 3 Background Planning Policy Wales (PPW) requires local authorities to provide a framework for well located sport, recreation and leisure facilities. The objective of PPW can only by achieved by undertaking local assessments of need and an audit of existing provision, to form an ‘Open Space Assessment’, which in turn will be used to inform policies in the Local Development Plan (LDP) and formulate an Open Space Strategy. The Open Space Assessment needs to address all forms of open space, including:- Parks & Gardens Natural and semi natural green spaces Outdoor sport facilities Allotments Amenity green space Provision for children & teenagers Civic spaces Water PPW does not prescribe standards of provision; these should be based upon the findings of the Open Space Assessment, and should be locally generated to include quantitative and qualitative elements and take account of accessibility. The Fields in Trust (FIT) Standards can however be helpful in assessing standards for outdoor sport and play. Outdoor sport and play is not the same as public open space. It is space that is safely accessible and available to the general public, and of a suitable size and nature for sport, active recreation or children’s play. It is a significant component, but not the only form of open space. The FIT minimum standard for outdoor playing space is 2.4 hectares for 1000 people. This total is broken down as follows:- Outdoor Sport – 1.6 Hectares Children’s Playing space – 0.8 Hectares. 4 Introduction This document comprises an ‘audit’ of the provision for ‘Children’s Play’ provision within the County Borough and compares this provision with the FIT advisory standards of between 0.8 hectares per 1000 population. Children’s Playing Space includes:- (i) Designated areas for children and young people containing a range of facilities and an environment that has been designed to provide focused opportunities for outdoor play; (ii) Casual or informal playing space within housing areas. For the purposes of this document, Children’s Playing Space has been broken down into three categories, developed locally, as follows:- a) Playgrounds (PG) – a small area containing recreational equipment, such as swings, slides and see-saws for children to play on. b) Children’s Play (CP) – a small, well overlooked but unequipped, grassed area for small children to pursue recreational activities. c) Recreational Space (RS) – a larger unequipped, grassed area for slightly older children to kick a ball, run around and cycle on. This document and its findings will therefore form a part of any future Open Space Assessment and Open Space Strategy formulated by the Council. However, in its own right it can be used as a tool for development control purposes, as a means to remedying local deficiencies in Children’s Playing Provision and as a means of safeguarding and enhancing existing facilities as appropriate. The findings of this document will provide evidence and justification in seeking future planning obligations from developers where new development increases local need. Additionally, the Council is currently in the process of producing its Local Development Plan (LDP) which will supersede the UDP as the land-use planning document in Bridgend County Borough. Therefore, this document will also be used to guide future planning policy for the protection of existing, and implementation of new Children’s Play Space throughout the County Borough. 5 The comparison of Children’s Playing Space and FIT standards is calculated on a Sub-Area and a Group Settlement Area (GSA) basis within the County Borough. The GSA areas are depicted by Figure 1. The GSA’s reflect existing settlement identities and links between them, accessibility and ward definitions within the County Borough. Each of the 13 GSA’s identified compare the 2001 census population with the actual provision of Children’s Playing Space. This comparison provides an overall assessment which identifies a deficit or surplus of facilities within each GSA. 6 Sub-Area and Settlement Populations (Figures based on 2001 Census Data) LLYNFI VALLEY 20704 Maesteg 11881 Pontrhydycyff 1572 Llangynwyd 223 Caerau 4283 Nantyffyllon 2745 GARW VALLEY 7570 Blaengarw 1573 Pontycymmer 2802 Pontyrhyl/Lluest 251 Llangeinor 910 Bettws 2034 OGMORE VALLEY 7800 Nantymoel 1117 Pricetown 1205 Ogmore Vale 3151 Pantyrawel/Lewistown 685 Blackmill 584 Glynogwr 122 Evanstown 936 VALLEYS GATEWAY 10603 Sarn 4994 Aberkenfig 1558 Brynmenyn 1309 Bryncethin 1305 Tondu 970 Coytrahen 467 PENCOED 9458 Pencoed 8623 Heol-Y-Cyw 835 BRIDGEND 41910 Bridgend 36976 Laleston 839 Penyfai 2137 Coity 1063 Coycurch 895 PYLE/KENFIG/CORNELLY 14733 Pyle 4265 Kenfig Hill 2949 Cefn Cribbwr 1546 North Cornelly, including Mawdlam 5261 Kenfig & South Cornelly 721 PORTHCAWL 15872 TOTAL POPULATION 128650 8 9 &+,/'5(163/$<3529,6,21E\6XE$UHD Llynfi Valley 6LWH5HI &KLOGUHQV3OD\ $UHD +D CP 26 Parc Tyn y Waun 0.06 PG 03 Homfray Street 0.17 PG 04 Metcalfe Street 0.18 PG 06 Ty Derwyn 0.07 PG 08 Woodlands Terrace 0.06 PG 101 Blaencaerau Play Area 0.01 PG 107 Bridgend Road Playground 0.04 PG 108 Measteg Welfare Park Playground 0.14 PG 110 Caerau Park Playground 0.04 PG 112 Heol Neuadd Domas Playground 0.02 PG 118 Llangynwyd Village 0.05 PG 25 Heol - yr- ysgol 0.28 PG 26 Turberville Estate 0.16 PG 27 Garth Park 0.18 PG 28 Maesteg Park Estate 0.14 RS 03 Griffiths Terrace 0.2 RS 103 Brewers Garage 0.28 RS 116 Woodlands Terrace 0.32 RS 121 Bridge Street 0.24 RS 122 Alma Street - Telephone Exchange 0.41 RS 123 Princess Street 0.42 RS 128 Oakwood Estate 0.77 RS 129 Lewis Road 0.38 RS 13 Heol Cae Defaid 0.19 RS 14 Hyfrdol 0.2 RS 15 Heol Faen 0.21 RS 16 Sailsbury Road 1.11 RS 17 School Road 0.19 RS 57 Caerau Park 0.79 RS 58 Tudor Estate 0.18 RS 96 River Street 0.12 Grand Total 7.61 6XE$UHD3RSXODWLRQ 20704 26 October 2010 10 $FWXDOChildren's Play Provision 7.61 Requirement based on: 0.8 Ha per 1000 population = 16.5632 6853/86$'',7,21$/5(48,5(0(17 +D N.B.

  • 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
