Construction Trends in Bridgend
Bridgend's Replacement Local Development Plan proposes more than 7,000 new homes through to 2033, including 1,700 affordable dwellings, with strategic sites at Island Farm, Pyle, Pencoed, and Porthcawl. Bellway Homes has secured approval for 120 homes at Craig Y Parcau on a former care home site, while Llanmoor Homes has unveiled plans for up to 850 properties at Parc Llangewydd on the town's western edge. In Maesteg, a 41.8 million pound scheme is bringing up to 200 new homes for Valleys to Coast, and Porthcawl's seafront regeneration area could eventually deliver around 1,100 homes. Away from these schemes, established towns keep a steady flow of extensions and loft conversions.
