Anger at Pantmawr Inn Plans meeting

Anger at Pantmawr Inn Plans meeting

There was an excellent turnout at the meeting about the future of the Pantmawr Inn organised by Cllrs Jane Cowan and Adrian Robson.

People didn't want to loose the pub and the amenity this provides. " we have nothing on this estate except the pub"

A resident said "absolutlely ridiculous what they are proposing here" another .."Post office gone, community spirit eroded - the last bastion the pub - this is the last straw"

"we will be completely overlooked, completely blocking the light"

Cllr Jayne Cowan said "it is outragous - we will be making very strong representations to the planning committee"

A resident said the plans "going to cause chaos"

"clearly overdevelopment, 36 flats is too many" Many expressed concern about the number of parking places and the amount of extra traffic generated which would make life a nightmare for residents in the area. They already had problems with severe congestion.

"Concerns about drainage "Sewage will come up" said one resident but the representative of the developers said thois was a matter up to Welsh Water"

Concern was expressed about the bats and what would happen to them,the spokes person for the developer said that they had been monitoring for a few nights and hadn't seen any! We need an expert to look and check it out. Cllr Andrian Robson said that the council had a ecologist who could be consulted.

Jonathan Morgan AM said that the entrance to the site wasn't

wide enough. "in the event of a major incident, major problem with access for the emergency services vechicle access"

A petition was launched. The new Pantmawr Inn residents group was announced. The first meeting will be next Tuesday at the Pantmawr Inn at 8.30.

Cllr Cowan says "Please feel free to E-Mail us directly with your representations, all of which we will acknowledge and formally send to the planning officer (copying you in). Alternatively, please contact the planning officer directly : Martin Morris, mamorris@cardiff.gov.uk or C/O City Hall, Cardiff. CF10 3ND."
