The South Wales Metro and upgraded valley rail lines are a focus for growth, with stations at Pontypridd, Aberdare, Treorchy and Merthyr Tydfil. Lower-lying land around Bridgend, Pencoed and Llantrisant along the M4 corridor sees more demand for larger housing sites, and flood risk under TAN 15 matters on the valley floors.
