A long-standing former Cardiff business has been demolished to make way for a block of flats. The former Radiocraft store in the Canton area of the city has been knocked down after it was announced in March 2020 that the shop would not be re-opening as the business moved to Penarth and re-branded as Vale Kitchen Studio.
The now-vacant site will be developed into a block of flats after planning permission was granted in March this year. The development, which is situated between the Tesco in Cowbridge Road East and the Ivor Davies Wetherspoon pub, would be split across two blocks. A shared courtyard would separate the blocks.
The development comprises of seven two-bedroom and three one-bedroom flats as well as a ground-floor commercial unit. Developers Taff Housing said they wanted to "replicate the successful" redevelopment of the former Canton police station nearby. That building was also developed into flats and houses the Hard Lines coffee shop on the ground floor.
