Cardiff Council's leader has expressed his frustration after plans for a major new railway station were put on hold. The Hendre Lakes development, which includes plans for a new business park and £120m mainline train station in St Mellons, was approved by Cardiff Council in April.
However, the Welsh Government decided in October that it would call in the project. The decision means Welsh Ministers will review and determine the application instead of Cardiff Council's planning committee.
"I am frustrated, frankly, that it has taken so long to call the decision in," said Cardiff Council leader Huw Thomas. But I know the council's planning department is now fully engaged with Welsh Government planners to work through the questions that they have raised.
