Campaigners are seeking to fight Cardiff Council in court over controversial plans to build a sewage pumping station in a popular park. Llandaff North Residents' Association is seeking a judicial review of the council's decision to grant Welsh Water planning permission for the development in Hailey Park.
Following the council's approval of the development on September 8 the association crowdfunded £5,000 to employ a senior barrister to advise them on their legal case and send a letter before action to the council on their behalf. The letter invited the local authority to concede to quashing their planning committee decision.
A Cardiff council spokesman confirmed that a letter of response was sent on October 21 stating that the issues in question will be contested if court proceedings are brought against the council. Following this t he association said its legal team had filed papers on Monday to apply for the judicial review, costing them a further £12,000 which they are currently crowdfunding.
