We want Cardiff to have a Green Belt which will protect the countryside permanently on the outskirts of Cardiff and to reject the Green Wedge which only offers protection for the lifetime of the Local Development Plan.
Updates
January 6, 2016
The distinction between a temporary wedge and a permanent belt is clear. We are currently preparing to present these concerns to the planning committee.

The momentum is undeniable now. Cardiff is waking up to the difference between permanent protection and temporary plans.

A plan for this green belt was submitted some 20 years ago; and it was widely assumed that it had been agreed. The case for it is even stronger now.
There are so many unused and underused buildings and plots of land within the city. These should be utilised before the city is expanded. Should also work with other towns within the area to do the same. Wales is beautiful because it is green. Lets keep it that way!
Why do we need 45,000 houses in Cardiff when our roads and public services are unable to cope with the number of residents in the city now ??
I've lived in Cardiff long enough to know that Green Belts mean absolutely nothing if developers and local authorities are determined. Templeton Avenue was built on a G.F.S.We need a permanent agreement NOT TO BUILD.
It is disgraceful that Cardiff Council is allowing prime agricultural land to be used for development. The eastern side of the City is being shamefully over developed when brown field sites could be utilised instead.
Keep green belt.
It is imperative that we keep a green belt around Cardiff. Otherwise we will lose our unique identity. That would be a great pity.

As we've seen in recent years if a new plan is not in place at the end of this one, the protection can disappear. Keep it as a green belt.
