The western part of the site within Bridgend contains the main overburden mound, soil storage areas, water treatment areas, workshops/office area and the site access. Planning permission for the current Margam Opencast Coal Site was granted by Neath Port Talbot County Borough Council in March 2001 for a temporary period of 5 years (Ref: P98/0541) . A similar application was approved by Bridgend County Borough Council also in March 2001 (Ref: P/98/377/MIN).
