Houses on a Cardiff estate have been boarded up and many have moved out as demolition work begins in a major redevelopment programme. Work began on Monday, February 20 to take down the first of 214 homes at the Channel View estate in Grangetown.
Many of the 56 houses set to be demolished as part of Cardiff council’s huge house-building programme are boarded up with developers at the site carrying out preparatory work. Of the 214 homes to be demolished 158 of them will be apartments.
Developers will replace the homes over several phases with 400 to be built. Cardiff council said its vision for Channel View is “to deliver affordable, sustainable homes for the existing residents, better links to public transport and the wider area and provide public spaces for the residents and wider community to enjoy”.
