BRIDGEND Cyngor Bwrdeistref Sirol r gw COUNTY O r a t n BOROUGH o b - y - COUNCIL n e PEN-Y-BONT P BRIDGEND AR OGWR CYNGOR County Borough Council BWRDEISTREF SIROL CYNLLUN DATBLYGU UNEDOL UNITARY UADOPTED PLANDPDEVELOPMENT CYNLLUN MABWYSIEDIG PLAN CONTENTS Foreword We have great pleasure in commending this Unitary Development Plan to the public of Bridgend County Borough. UNITARY It is a very significant part of the corporate policy of Bridgend County Borough Council, and sets out guidance for the future use of land DEVELOPMENT throughout the Authority’s area until 2016, providing certainty for the public and developers alike. PLAN The Plan is also very important in deciding planning applications. By law, it is the principal factor to be considered. Decisions based upon the plan will affect everyone in the area. The Plan has been subject to extensive public involvement and consultation through exhibitions, local seminars and public meetings in all parts of the County Borough. In addition, the Public Inquiry into the Plan heard nearly 2,000 representations. Substantive changes have been made to the 2001 deposit version to reflect the issues raised and those recommendations of the Inquiry Inspector accepted by the Council. This Plan is the first for the County Borough to be set explicitly in the context of Local Agenda 21. Many of the policies reflect the imperatives of sustainable development. Wales is believed to be the first nation anywhere under a statutory duty to give regard to such issues in its decision making processes, and they have been fully considered during the preparation of this document, which has been the subject of a sustainability appraisal, or ‘green audit’. We certify that this document is a true copy of the Bridgend Unitary Development Plan adopted by Bridgend County Borough Council on 12th May 2005. Mr. Rhodri-Gwynn Jones Cllr.

    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
