Plans for an apartment block in Cardiff on the site of a former youth hostel have been revealed. The designs have been submitted to Cardiff Council's planning department for the proposed block on Wedal Road, Roath, at the plot formerly occupied by the Youth Hostel (YHA) building.
The main YHA building had been lying empty since 2014 after the YHA's lease on the buildings ran out and the site reverted back to Cardiff Council. In 2015 the YHA moved to a transformed former Mercure Hotel on East Tyndall Street, nearer Cardiff city centre.
During the height of the Covid-19 pandemic in 2020, this city centre hostel was used by Cardiff County Council to house homeless people. You can find out more about that here.
