The infill plots that interests us around Hirwaun
Infill gaps in Hirwaun's established streets can be among the easiest small sites to bring forward when the design respects the neighbours. Sitting about 16 miles north of Bridgend, Hirwaun is within Mid Glamorgan, with Aberdare and Treorchy close by.
- Gaps in a street frontage between houses or other buildings
- Corner plots within built-up areas
- Plots large enough for one or more homes with parking
- Land with or without an earlier planning history
Mid Glamorgan covers the South Wales valleys of the Rhondda, Cynon, Taff and Merthyr, along with Bridgend, Pontypridd, Maesteg and Porthcawl. There is no green belt, but green wedges are used locally and the northern uplands fall within Bannau Brycheiniog National Park. Former colliery and industrial land, terraced-street infill and edge-of-settlement fields are typical sources of housing sites, with coal mining legacy and steep slopes common checks.

Questions owners in Hirwaun ask
Will my neighbours be consulted?
Yes. The council consults neighbours on planning applications, and their comments are considered alongside policy.
Do small infill sites need biodiversity net gain?
In England, from 6 August 2026 most non-major sites of 0.2 hectares or less are exempt from mandatory BNG, unless priority habitat is affected. Wales uses a different approach.
