Cardiff Council Housing Development is asking the public for their views on a proposed housing development at the site of a former North Cardiff pub.

The development, on the former Wolf's Castle Inn site in Llanishen, would provide 24 new affordable and energy-efficient houses and apartments.

They would be available to rent for people on the Council House waiting list. Homes will be designed with private gardens and outdoor spaces, electric vehicle charging infrastructure and bicycle storage.

The scheme will also include a sustainable urban drainage system (SUDS) which may include rain gardens, tree planting and other green infrastructure to ensure rainwater drains naturally into the ground.

You can see a full set of plans and supporting reports here. These can also be accessed on-line at the Llanishen Hub or Central Library.

The project is currently at stage 3 which involves developing the preferred option in more detail, in readiness for a planning application. This stage involves a pre-application consultation (PAC) with the community and other stakeholders.

You can send any views on the proposals by email to mike@amityplanning.co.uk

or in writing to: Amity Planning, Suite 212, Creative Quarter, Cardiff, CF10 1AF. The deadline for making comments is Friday 6 February.

There will be a public drop-in event on Wednesday 28 January, 2pm–7pm at the Llanishen Hub (Community Room), 11 Station Road, Llanishen CF14 5LS.

🏠 Wales is widely considered to be in the midst of a housing crisis, with a desperate shortage of affordable housing in particular, and the Welsh Government is well behind its target to build an adequate supply.

. Increasing amounts of public money are spent annually to keep homeless people in temporary accommodation, and the charity Shelter Cymru has labelled the situation a 'housing emergency'.
