A new masterplan which will be used to determine which developments take place in Bridgend County Borough between now and 2033 has moved a step closer this week, after a meeting of councillors took place on July 20. Council bosses agreed that they would now refer the plans to a future meeting of full council along with a recommendation that it be submitted to Welsh Government for an independent examination in the coming months.
The replacement local development plan also known as the LDP, incorporates a number of potential development sites at Porthcawl, Pyle, and Pencoed. It also includes locations at Island Farm and land to the west of Bridgend. It features all of the policies that the authority would use when determining future planning applications in the borough, and sets out how land throughout the county can be used.
