Exciting news for Bridgend! Proposals are in to build over 20 new affordable homes just off the A473 Waterton Road. This development could bring a fantastic opportunity for local families, with a diverse mix of 22 homes planned on a 0.74ha brownfield site. The location, a stone’s throw from Coychurch, is perfect for anyone craving both community vibes and proximity to convenient shopping spots like the nearby B&Q and Starbucks drive-through.
The proposal is about more than just homes—it’s about creating a sustainable, connected community. The thoughtfully designed houses aim to blend seamlessly with existing homes, fostering a sense of harmony throughout the neighbourhood. If you’re looking for affordable housing options, here’s what might be on offer: ten houses with two bedrooms, eight houses with three bedrooms, and four trendy one-bedroom flats.
Interestingly, the site will feature a smart landscaping strategy that’ll boost local biodiversity while improving vehicle access on Waterton Lane. Emtrek Developments Ltd put forward these plans in January 2026, and they’re now awaiting approval from Bridgend County Borough Council’s planning department. Fingers crossed for the green light!
Also on the horizon, separate plans have been submitted for a massive 120-home development at the site of a former care home near the A48 Bypass Road. Change is certainly in the air for Bridgend, with developments aiming to cater to the growing need for affordable housing while enhancing community spirit. Stay tuned as these projects progress! 🌱🏡
