Plans have been submitted for a development of more than 100 homes on the site of a former railway embankment in the Grangetown area of Cardiff.
A hybrid planning application has been submitted by Pegasus Developments to Cardiff City Council covering the construction of 116 homes on a 4.9 acre site owned by Network Rail.
A total of 49 two, three and four bedroom homes are proposed alongside six apartment blocks providing 67 units.
If the scheme is granted consent Pegasus will develop the site in partnership with Wales and West Housing Association. The homes will be predominantly affordable, but with some for sale on the open market.
The site was most recently been used as a railway embankment and historically operated as a railway line. The tracks have now been removed and the land is surplus to Network Rail’s requirements.
The land is currently raised significantly above the surrounding area and the application includes plans for the removal of material to reduce it to a lower level.
The land has previously been put forward as a candidate site in the emerging Cardiff Local Development Plan and was included as a location suitable for residential development in the deposit plan, published in 2013.
The outline planning application follows a consultation held earlier this year with Cardiff City Council which resulted in the slight reduction of the total number of homes.
A design and access statement, submitted by Pegasus as part of the application, said: "The application site is located within the urban settlement boundary of Cardiff and is allocated for residential development in the emerging LDP.
"Whilst submitted in outline, an indicative density of 116 dwellings is proposed.
"Residential development on the site will assist in meeting a number of national and local planning policy objectives including maximising the re - use of previously developed land, reducing the need to travel, particularly by car and providing affordable housing."
