Cardiff
County Council are in the process of devising a Unitary Development
Plan (UDP). The UDP will be the blueprint of the proposed
future of Cardiff up to 2016 and will be available soon for
public consultation.
The Community Council would like to ensure that the villages
are not overlooked and the aspirations of local residents
are reflected in the UDP. To this end the Community
Council are drawing up their own Community Plan. Councillors
have already outlined a number of issues they would like to
pursue but need to be sure that these are in line with residents
wishes. A number of local organisations have had the
opportunity of contributing to the Plan and the initial suggestions
for the plan has been published in the Community Link inviting
comments from the wider public. This draft document
is now available for further consultation. Please submit
your written comments to
