The redundant buildings that interests us around Hirwaun
We are interested in buildings around Hirwaun that have outlived their original use, whether they would be converted or replaced. Sitting about 16 miles north of Bridgend, Hirwaun is within Mid Glamorgan, with Aberdare and Treorchy close by.
- Vacant offices and commercial buildings
- Former pubs, halls, chapels and churches
- Buildings with or without existing consent
- Sites where demolition and rebuilding may be better than conversion
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.
