Editing Colwinston (section)

===21st century===
The agricultural land in and around the village is now variously owned by the Pwllywrach Estate, a number of independent landowners (especially to the north and west of the village) as well as a small number of independent farmers who have bought and/or inherited land over the centuries. Other properties are owned by the Vale of Glamorgan Council for the school, the Village Hall and the remaining social housing. Finally, most private housing is now owned by individual house owners, either as new-build properties or older houses mostly purchased from the Pwllywrach estate, the local authority, the chapel organisations and the Church in Wales or local farmers.

The main fabric of the village was thus set until 2016 when the developer Redrow plc built 64 new homes on land now known as Heol Cae Pwll (completed in 2018), increasing the population to over 600. Protests against the extent of the development by local residents were overruled by the [[Vale of Glamorgan Council]]. Community representatives pointed to regular flooding and said that "adding 64 homes to a village with 130 at the moment can only increase that risk".<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.barry-today.co.uk/article.cfm?id=15&headline=Colwinston%20residents%20set%20to%20oppose%20Redrow%20housing%20plan&searchyear=2015|title=Colwinston residents set to oppose Redrow housing plan|website=The Barry Gem|date=15 January 2015|access-date=19 August 2016}}</ref>  Along with this came "fibre" broadband.
