Cardiff Council is seeking to redevelop the former playing field fronting Ball Road and Llanrumney Hall, Llanrumney, Cardiff.
The site forms part of the new Cardiff and Vale Housing Partnership; a commitment with Lovells to create exemplary homes and communities across the region to help tackle current housing pressures by delivering at least 2,260 homes over the next 10 years.
Project Details
The scheme will be high quality and through good design we hope to provide:
- An attractive and safe development for living and raising a family set within a green landscape where residents can walk, cycle and take public transport to get to local shops, schools and parks.
- New homes that are energy efficient, naturally light and airy.
- Homes designed around modern family needs, with private gardens and outdoor spaces, electric vehicle charging points and bicycle storage.
What are we providing
The new development will provide new family homes designed to meet the Council’s high energy efficient standards. They will be available to rent for people on the Council House waiting list and will comprise of 2, 3 and 4 bedroom homes. The scheme will also include a number of market sale properties, that can be purchased through Lovell.
The scheme will incorporate a Sustainable Urban Drainage System (SUDS) that may include rain gardens, tree planting and other green infrastructure that ensure rainwater drains naturally into the ground. This helps to combat the impacts of climate change, provides greener, more attractive places to live, and increases local biodiversity.
Current status
The project has four key stages:
Stage 1 – Survey work and information gathering (Current stage):
This stage involved undertaking all the necessary survey work on the site, such as trees, ecology and site condition surveys. They tell us all we need to know about the site to help shape the design of the proposed development.
Stage 2 – Opportunities and constraints
This involves using the survey work to identify the site opportunities and constraints and coming up with some initial ideas and early designs for the proposed development. We will get feedback on these ideas from the community and a range of technical experts, to be able to develop a preferred option for the design.
Stage 3 – Preferred Option
This stage involves developing the preferred option in more detail, ready for a planning application. This stage will involve a Pre Application Consultation (PAC) with the community and other stakeholders.
Stage 4 – Planning Application
A planning application will be submitted for the proposed development, for the community and other stakeholders to have an opportunity to comment further on the proposals.
How can the community get involved?
Once we have completed initial ideas and early designs for the proposed development. We will get feedback on these ideas from the community and a range of technical experts, to be able to develop a preferred option for the design. We will inform residents of this activity by letter to your door, for those living nearby and update the website and social media during 2026.
Following the above we will develop the preferred option in more detail, ready for a planning application. This stage involves a Pre Application Consultation (PAC) with the community and other stakeholders. We will inform residents of this activity by letter to your door, for those living nearby and update the website and social media.
A planning application will then be submitted for the proposed development, for the community and other stakeholders to have an opportunity to comment further on the proposals.
