How schemes in Caerphilly get decided.
Welsh policy and standards
Caerphilly County Borough Council decides the application and is the highway authority for local roads. Planning Policy Wales and Technical Advice Note 18 put walking, cycling and public transport first, and the evidence needs to show how a scheme supports that.
What shapes schemes in Caerphilly
A castle town just north of Cardiff, with a busy station on the Rhymney line and congestion on the A468 and A469. In the centre, the questions are servicing, parking and how people walk to the shops and the station. On the edges, it’s access, visibility and the main junctions.
Roads, rail and buses
The main roads are the A468 and A469. There’s a railway station, so the walking and cycling route to it counts for a lot in any application.
Questions we get asked
Who is the highway authority in Caerphilly?
Caerphilly County Borough Council is both the planning authority and the highway authority for local roads.
Do you cover the area around Caerphilly?
Yes, including Pontypridd, Stroud and Gloucester, and the villages and rural sites in between.
Does the 20mph default speed limit affect my access design?
It can. Most restricted roads in Wales became 20mph in 2023, and some have since gone back to 30mph after review. Visibility should reflect the speeds traffic actually travels, so a speed survey often pays for itself.
