CONTROVERSIAL plans to expand troubled Parc Prison to house hundreds more inmates have been approved.

- LEWIS SMITH

The proposal was given the go-ahead at a council planning committee. The new "K-shaped house-block" will accommodate an extra 345 residents and an additional 160 members of staff.

HMP Parc is a category B prison located in Coity, Bridgend. It was opened in 1997 and is operated by private security firm G4S. The current site holds a total of 1,670 inmates as well as 676 members of staff.

The application was handed in by Galliford Try Construction Limited earlier in 2025 on behalf of the UK's Ministry of Justice.

The new block will be built on the southwest of the site and the boundary wall will be repositioned.
