Formerly-rejected plans to build new apartments in Cardiff have been brought back to life. Plans to knock down 58 Pwllmelin Road in Llandaff to build 23 apartments were refused last month after having initially been approved. The application, which proposed the construction of four blocks of apartments, was originally granted in December 2021.
However it was brought back for consideration after the applicants, Windrush Ltd, revealed it was not able to provide the £413,714 of section 106 contributions towards affordable housing that had been originally agreed. After putting a new offer of £146,917 on the table, which will go towards parks, traffic regulation orders (TROs), and affordable housing, the application for the apartments has been approved again.
Of the £146,917 some £100,000 will go towards affordable housing, £5,000 will go towards TROs, and £41,917 will go towards parks. Cllr Adrian Robson said the moment offered proof that being persistent with demands on developers for section 106 could be to the council's benefit. He said: "I welcome the additional £100,000 put forward by the applicant.
