A planning consultation has been launched as plans for 87 affordable flats are due to be submitted to Cardiff Council "imminently". The proposals would see buildings in Cowbridge Road East and Lower Cathedral Road demolished to make way for the development, LRM planning has said.
The site, just 400m from the city centre, is currently occupied by three-storey dwellings and commercial units along Cowbridge Road East. The proposed development would consist entirely of 87 one-bedroom affordable apartments.
Additionally a ground-floor commercial unit, amenity space for residents, and cycle parking would form part of the plans for the development. The development would consist of seven floors in Cowbridge Road East, the upper six of which would serve as apartments.
