- 28. Cardiff’s Local Development Plan is one of the most important documents, if not the most important, that Cardiff council is called upon to produce. It lays the foundations which will shape our city for a generation or more. It determines where people are going to live and work and how they travel between the two. More importantly, it dictates how people live, influencing lifestyles and landscapes which impact directly on jobs, educational achievement, crime and future economic prosperity as well as on issues of place, community and the environment. http://yourcardiff.walesonline.co.uk/tag/local-development-plan/

- 31. ‘’VISITORS could soon be taking a faster route to Barry Island thanks to a new £250m development. The new road will run through the centre of the Waterfront complex, providing a much more direct link to the Island from Cardiff Road and easing pressure on the causeway, which often becomes clogged with traffic at the height of the summer season. The road will also give access to the planned second phase of the Waterfront development, including a new primary school, cafe quarter, park and houses. The final proposal for the link road is the result of lengthy public consultation and debate on the final phase of the waterfront development’’ Written June 2010 Source: www.walesonline.co.uk/...news/.../new-link-road-a-faster-route-to-barry-island-91466-26660410

- 36. Commonly undeveloped land in a city or rural area either currently used for agriculture or landscape design or left to naturally evolve. These areas of land are usually agricultural or amenity properties being considered for urban development. Greenfield land can be unfenced open fields, urban lots or restricted closed properties kept off limits to the general public by a private or government entities. Rather than build upon greenfield land a developer may choose to re-develop brownfield or greyfield lands. Those are areas that have previously been developed but have been left abandoned or underutilized. Greenfield Sites – land that has not been built on before. Often rural / countryside areas.
- 37. More sustainable Often on the edge of towns and cities and may have better access Have less congestion More pleasant environment and have more space and room to expand House prices would increase in inner city areas as people are encouraged back to the area. This might mean that local people can not afford the houses. New drainage, electricity, roads etc. would all have to be produced. New housing can lead to gentrification (old housing done up- area becomes more trendy and affluent) so the area will improve and things like crime rates will improve. Easier to build on as there is a fresh start There is an issue of contamination and making sites safe for development. ‘Sucks’ out the core from towns as shop etc. locate on the edge of towns/cities
