Walesonline is reporting that Taylor Wimpey are starting pre-submission consultation on 2,500 home (plus schools, shops, parks, etc.) between the planned Churchland's development (which is just to the east of Lisvane) and Pontprennau. It also seems to include some infill between Lisvane, Churchlands and the resevoirs.

Very little detail in the article and I've yet to look for a website for it. But in general I'm supportive of theis kind of development as I think Cardiff needs more family homes. The city's economy would benefit from retaining more people in their 30s and 40s who move away to get a family home. Some move to the nearby valleys or Vale and commute in (although that means extra pollution from cars). But I think we lose people to other urban areas that have more suburban type homes (e.g. Bristol with the sprawl of South Gloucestershire). As people in their 30s and 40s are often more productive than those in their 20s, it could be a reason for Cardiff's low productivity.
Thought i'd have my usual moan about Walesonline at the same time. Their article rightly highlights how this will be next to Churchlands. And then in the "what else is being built?" it refers to the development near Creigau as Churchlands.
Can they not even get consistency within an article? (I'm aware they struggle with consistency between articles).
