This report investigates two typical domestic building types common in the Glenkens: “Post-war” – a post 1940’s semi-detached bungalow reflective of housing seen throughout the area; and “Galloway Cottage” – a pre-1919 1.5-storey mid-terrace dwelling constructed of solid walls which make up the majority of the traditional housing stock throughout Glenkens.
The purpose of the Community Action Plan Steering Group (CAP SG) is to be the custodian of the Glenkens and District Community Action Plan (the CAP). It will maintain the CAP and agree any updates.

The Report also sets out the challenge and opportunities facing delivery of the CAP priorities as they aim for ever more ambitious delivery.
This Vision and the associated recommendations are intended as the first step to creating a balance in Glenkens land use where all voices are heard, respected and valued.
