Campaigners have pointed out that Cardiff council’s own monitoring report shows that building projects around the city are well behind schedule – thus questioning the need for the release of further land for development.
In Plasdŵr, north west Cardiff, 740 homes have been completed. However, by now, 2,879 dwellings should have been completed, according to the council’s calculations.
The building of affordable homes is also well below target. The current Local Development Plan (LDP) states that 6,646 affordable units should be delivered between 2014 and 2026. The latest figures show that just 1,797 homes have been completed.
