The site location is referred to as Plot E, Pencoed Technology Park and is currently grassland. Pencoed Technology Park is a well established employment site located to the north of junction 35 of the M4 motorway. The application site is bound to the north by a hedgerow beyond which is additional land under the control of the applicant. To the east and south is  Felindre Meadows, the internal spine road serving the wider employment area. To the west the site is bound by a large hedgerow running the length of the boundary, beyond which is a further development plateau.

The proposed units will be set out within three blocks in a central area of development with landscaping around the perimeter. The units are to be uniform in design and size with car parking provided for each.
