A proposed student accommodation development on one of the busiest roads in Cardiff has been turned down after local councillors and residents opposed the plans. Under the proposals, a building on City Road was set to be demolished and replaced with an apartment block.
The plans, which were submitted to Cardiff council by C2J Architects in February last year, would have seen a former carpet and furniture shop on the road knocked down, with a six-storey development built in its place. As well as providing accommodation for students, the ground floor of the apartment block would have also been used as a retail unit.
However, the proposed development has been refused by the council's planning committee after the plans received backlash from local residents who argued that there was already too much dedicated student accommodation in the area.
