Planning permission has been granted for hundreds of apartments to be built on the site of a former brewery in Cardiff. The development of two mixed-use buildings in Central Quay at the former Brains brewery site will provide more than 700 apartments and 2,000 square metres of floor space between them.
The development, which applicants Rightacres Property describe as "transformational", will also include the planting of more than 50 trees and two public squares - one of which will include the original brewhouse chimney. Members of Cardiff Council's planning committee spoke in support of the development.
Cllr Gary Hunt called the development a "huge scheme," and "in many respects a very impressive one". He said: "This broadens the sky line and I think it is quite exciting in that sense."
