Local Development Plan ............. Please sign the petition
- Click here to sign a petition on Change.org asking Cardiff to delay the LDP in NW Cardiff.
- On June 26 Cardiff Council voted in favour of the LDP despite strong arguments against it.
- R&MCC and the NW Cardiff Group continue to lobby for development of NW Cardiff to be delayed to align with the Metro.
- Building is due to start in 2018, or sooner, and last 15 years.
- Developers are now submitting applications to build in the NW before the LDP is adopted and there is little chance that they will be refused.
- We will keep making the case for infrastructure to precede development.
- Despite the growing realisation by many that the LDP is not sustainable, Cardiff will not amend it and continues to say that a bus will solve the transport issues for thousands of new residents until the Metro is running.
- Our letters and responses are here.
- See events diary for a meeting with Cllr McKerlich on 28 July at which the LDP will be discussed.
