A legal challenge to stop a sewage pumping station from being built in a Cardiff park has taken a major step forward. In October Llandaff North Residents' Association sought a judicial review of Cardiff Council's decision to grant Welsh Water planning permission for the development in Hailey Park.
On Wednesday, February 15 the association learnt that permission had been granted for their application. A High Court spokesperson has confirmed to WalesOnline that permission had been granted for the judicial review and they were in the process of listing it for a hearing.
Meanwhile, a council spokesperson has said the authority intends to contest the matter in court. Stephanie Wilkins, chair of the Llandaff North Residents' Association, previously said the focus of their legal challenge was how the council granted permission for the development.
