'These plans will change the area entirely' Plan for 900-home development at Porthcawl gets mixed response

Plans to develop the seafront in Porthcawl have met a mixed reaction from business owners and residents. More than 900 houses and facilities for businesses and visitors are planned for land that encompasses the amusement park, Griffin Park, and Sandy Bay area with the potential to change the face of the popular seaside town as we know it.

A new road would also be constructed and there would also either be a new school or expanded educational facilities. The plans, which potentially also involve a new school, would reshape the front of the popular seaside town in the coming years. The council will soon publicise a notice of intention outlining how it intends to appropriate the land and consider any representations that may be received before making a decision.

The development would run alongside the previously-announced construction of a new Aldi store to be built on Salt Lake car park’s north side. Read More: Protesters plan to block both Severn bridges over fuel prices
