£450m Cardiff plan set to be dumped

9 Feb 11 Plans for a £450m mixed use development on Cardiff waste land are set to be scrapped after a three-year battle over planning gain.

The scheme on disused industrial land in Butetown envisaged construction of 2,000 homes, offices and a 24-storey five-star international hotel.

According WalesOnline, city council planners have called time after the developers had failed to sign a Section 106 agreement securing amenity benefits, including a new bridge over the river Taff and a ‘creative hub’ for start-up businesses.

Cardiff council had estimated the public area improvements were worth about £30m to the city.

It is reported that planning permission for the scheme will now be rescinded.
