We the undersigned local Residents are against development at the former Recycling Facility on Waungron Road. The proposals are incongruous over development of the site which will impact on an already busy road network causing additional congestion. It will add to existing parking pressures in local streets. It will add to the already poor Air Quality of the Ely Bridge (AQMA) Air Quality Management Area. The proposals do not fully comply with Planning Policy Wales guidelines as set out by Welsh Government. Holding the preconsultation during lockdown was discriminatory.

I am still reading through all the thoughtful comments you have left about our neighborhood streets and the reality of the traffic here. It is truly humbling to see so many people who care as much as I do about the future of this site. I am working to organize our concerns so we have a clear path forward when we finally sit down with the planning office.

Seeing so many neighbors come together to protect our streets has been completely overwhelming in the best way. This momentum belongs entirely to the people who care about our community and I am just honored to be part of what you have built.

This will cause mayhem traffic wise and will not help the local people In any way. We have plenty of buses and more people and cars are not in anyway better for the environment like they are proposing. I live on a street around the corner from the old dump and honestly the dump would be much more efficient and useful for the locals. The roads around the area are busy traffic wise and horrendous to park. I had to park around the corner from my house the other week because there was no space on my road now and that’s without all the new cars, buses and people.
The proposed development will cause an impact on an already busy area causing more congestion especially at peak times where traffic is already an absolute nightmare. It will also put pressure on parking in the surrounding streets where residents already struggle to park outside or near their homes not to mention the noise & pollution that the bus terminal will bring.
I strongly oppose this development. It is not in keeping with the local area, indeed planning has been refused for 2 storey extensions on the grounds that they would affect the privacy of neighbours. Traffic in this location is already an issue, as is parking. It is also in close proximity to several schools
Completely out of character for the area, high rise modern building in a low rise Edwardian area. Increased traffic and congestion, short term occupancy with no commitment to the local people or area.
Concerned over the prospect of more flats going up when there has already been a huge development at the paper mill which is extremely close by. Also, I will be completely overlooked by these flats which is going to massively affect my outlook and the quiet enjoyment I currently have.
Mal administration by our council . Years of waste by closing the recycling facility.
This development is totally inappropriate for the location and needs a comprehensive re-think. What alternative options do you have to offer ...the Counil can't just foist this upon the area as a 'done deal' it needs a proper public consultation with workable alternatives.

How can planning approve an over-development - 7 storeys high, well above roof heights of neighbouring houses. Cardiff is supposed to be leading city in recycling waste - this site should be returned to its former use, which benefit local community.
