St. Edeyrn Housing Development

Has anyone got any news on this, seems to have gone quiet. Can't find any up to date news online.

Other than it being approved by planners the other day no, been wondering the same as you. I should be driving nearby on Wednesday, I might go and have a nose around.

Don't waste your time, there's nothing going on...

The whole scheme hinges on the creation of a new access road off the Heol Pontprennau/A4232 Roundabout (Planning Reference 13/02646/DCO) but looking at the latest documents it appears to be being held up by the presence of Dormice.

STOP THE PRESS - This one is about to kick off!

Just took a shortcut to work using the Bridge Road ratrun (soon to be stopped up) and noticed that hedges have been cleared and heras fencing erected where this new access road is going to run (it's at the bottom of Church Road where they've created that 'no right turn' junction (co ords: 51.532770, -3.124241).

That's another 1,000 houses on the way!

At last !

All for new housing, but the plan lacks imagination. I would prefer something along the lines of the Inverness project.

Here's a photo of the aforementioned cleared hedges and erected heras fencing.

A whole load of information has just landed in amongst the planning apps related to this scheme, amongst them is a phasing plan (picture to follow) which shows that Phase 1 of the Spine Road (off the Pentwyn Link Road/Heol Pontprennau Roundabout) will be completed by October 2015, then work on the first 99 houses will commence (due to be completed between October 2015 and December 2016).

In the middle of the scheme there is commercial land (no date stating when this will be constructed)

Phase 2 of the Link Road will then be constructed to allow houses plots 100 - 228 to be constructed between March 2016 and December 2017, before plots 229 to 323 which will be completed between March 2017 and December 2018.

Interesting as well that the masterplan does not shoe Bridge Road stopped up (the old rat run from Old St Mellons to the M4).

About time Cardiff started growing again. As a Capital City, we think too small.
We obviously need to keep traffic flowing, but need more housing to cater for all classes of people.

Cardiff will never be a world class city with a population of 350,000

Persimmon signs up now (will take a photo in my lunch break) site portakabins being delivered later this week, here we go!

Great news
