PUBLIC MEETING
PLANNING APPLICATION 06/02504/W RELATES TO THE PROPOSAL TO SITE AN INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS PARK ON LAND TO THE NORTH OF JUNCTION 33 OF THE M4 AND WITHIN THIS COMMUNITY COUNCIL AREA.
WHEN THIS APPLICATION WAS FIRST PROPOSED IN 2007, THE PENTYRCH COMMUNITY COUNCIL OBJECTED ARGUING THAT THERE WERE MORE APPROPRIATE BROWN-FIELD SITES IN CARDIFF.

This website aims to bring all the community resources and information together in one handy place. After chatting to some other residents we realised we didn't actually know a lot of local things, like what's on in the village hall, when the bus runs (anyone know that?), where the local vets hang out, a miriad of stuff.
So, if you are involved in any activities, businesses, groups or anything you would like to share please contact me and I will put your information on the site.
