An application has been made for a new housing development with a driveway immediately after the Zebra Crossing zig zags on Station Road. This crossing is already known as one of the most dangerous in Cardiff as it is situated on the brow of a hill. We believe that this poses an unacceptable risk to us and our Children. Please look at these pictures and make your own mind up. This is a fatal accident waiting to happen. Don't risk the life of a child.
We need to ensure that Cardiff Planners hear our concerns! PLEASE SUPPORT OUR LOCAL COMMUNITY BY SIGNING THIS PETITION TO STOP THIS OVER-DEVELOPMENT OF THE WHITCHURCH CONSERVATION AREA WHICH ALSO RISKS OUR SAFETY.
THIS IS URGENT ... The deadline for submission of the petition is the 11th February. We suspect that the City Planners are trying to hide this development with the Covid-19 pandemic given that they have cut the deadline to respond short ...

I have spent the past several days cataloging the formal responses from the planning office regarding our concerns. The lack of transparency regarding this development remains a significant obstacle for our neighborhood.

The momentum behind this petition highlights the genuine concern our neighborhood feels regarding the safety of the Station Road crossing. It is clear that the community recognizes the severity of the risks posed by this proposed development.

It is essential to stop their development on the grounds of safety relating to the already nearby dangerous zebra crossing and to preserve the integrity of the area’s conservation status
This proposal if granted will add additional significant hazards to the local community. This includes dangers to school children and the general public. The area around which the construction will take place will be a health hazard from pre-construction, construction and thereafter.
Utterly ridiculous location for a drive. I use this crossing every day and have nearly been knocked over several times. I also feel that the whole development is wrong in a conservation area
The proposed access to the new dwelling Will make the zebra crossing even more dangerous than it is at present. I use this crossing On a regular basis to attend the Allotments and I have witnessed many potential accidents.
The proposal for the new development and access to Heol Don within meters of an already dangerous crossing poses more risk to the foot pedestrians and hundreds of parents and children who use this crossing daily. The access in front of the existing bus stop again creates a risk to pedestrians compounded by the fact one would be required to stop on the zebra crossing zigzag to gain access to the proposed driveway. This is an already very busy road where accidents and near miss accidents have occurred in recent months and years.
It’s too dangerous for school children and everyone else who needs to cross using this crossing
Not safe and already in a built up location.
