- shaam nights on city road is back again. Not sure why it was withdrawn and then re-submitted the next month
- 139 room accommodation where maindy road meets north road. Bland identikit design of no worth but probably a really good location for student accommodation
Interesting to see this paragraph in the Maindy Rd application.
Whilst the development will be high quality it will not be ‘top-end’, and will therefore target the students who are likely to occupy existing housing stock in the area. In addition, as this scheme is not ‘top -end’ it is not likely to lead to difficulties in letting, which it is understood some of the more expensive student schemes in Cardiff are currently experiencing.
That probably explains the delay on the Custom House Street tower.
