Cardiff council has been warned not to repeat the "mistakes" of its last Local Development Plan as it agreed the housebuilding targets it wants to set for the next 13 years. The council presented its preferred strategy for the plan in a meeting on Thursday, June 29.
The version approved by the council would see 26,400 new homes built by 2036, with housing in the city growing by 1% each year. The council says these homes can be built using existing planning permissions and land already identified in the current LDP, which was adopted in 2016.
Councillor Dan De'Ath, cabinet member for strategic planning and transport, said the plan represented a "positive, important step forward" and a "crucial document" in achieving a "deliverable yet ambitious level of growth to help tackle some of the most pressing issues in the city over the coming years."
