A number of Cardiff residents who feel trapped by traffic congestion fear things could be set to get worse after plans to build housing in their area were revealed. The 'wellbeing village', a partnership project between Cardiff Council and Wates, is proposed for land where Michaelston College used to be on Drope Road, Ely.
At the moment, the proposal is to build 265 homes, community facilities and green space. However, a planning application hasn't been formerly submitted yet. A third consultation event was held on February 28 and the design of the proposed development is something which is still under review.
It is hoped that the development, which is aimed at housing older people in a mixed-age community formed of properties for sale and properties for rent from the council, will go some way to helping Cardiff get to grips with its housing crisis.
