Here is the development at Dumballs Road notified in the planning app.
http://www.dumballsroad-cardiff.com/ass ... s-road.pdfI'm not sure. Its another Rightacres scheme, so on the one hand, good to get something from someone with a track record of getting things done. On the other, theres got to be a worry they are biting off more than they can chew, especially if the economy were to sour. Highly leveraged property companies often go under in such circumstances - with debts to service, but without the cash flow as transactions dry up.
More generally, while I like aspects of the design, views from certain directions show it standing out like a sore thumb. For instance, the view from Lloyd George Avenue. I can't help but feel from looking at that that it will tower over Canal Park and even over parts of Butetown.
