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.
