Garden fences over 2 metres need planning permission
On estates such as Brackla, a new fence, wall or gate can usually go up to 2 metres without planning permission, or 1 metre where it runs beside a road used by vehicles. Anything taller needs an application to Bridgend County Borough Council. Agree the line and height of a shared boundary with the neighbour before panels are ordered.
Bridgend town centre is a conservation area
The council designated the town centre conservation area in 1999, and there are others across the county borough. New shopfronts, outside painting and changes to front walls can need consent there, and trees need six weeks' notice before they are felled or pruned.
Skips on the road need council permission
A skip on a Bridgend road needs permission from the council under the Highways Act 1980. The application names the skip company, the exact spot and how long the skip will stay, so the dates of a clear-out need fixing before the skip is ordered.
Units at Waterton need cleaning planned around working hours
Bridgend Industrial Estate is made up of the Waterton, Bridgend and North Road estates, with units that include small workshops and large manufacturing and storage buildings. The price of cleaning or pressure washing a unit depends on the floor area, the floor surface and whether the work happens while the unit is running. Yards and loading areas can be pressure washed on the same visit.
