  • Council Statement
    CARDIFF COUNCIL CYNGOR CAERDYDD COUNCIL: 20 JUNE 2019 CULTURE & LEISURE STATEMENT 2019 Urdd National Eisteddfod I am sure that Members will wish to join me in congratulating the organisers of the 2019 Urdd National Eisteddfod that was held in Cardiff Bay from 27th May to 1st June. Access to the Maes was free this year and resulted in over 100,000 people visiting the festival over the six days. A new development which proved to be very popular was extending the entertainment on the Maes itself, with bands such as Chroma, Gwilym, Candelas and Fleur de Lis playing on two stages on the Maes. The Wales Millennium Centre and surrounding areas of Roald Dahl Plass provided a sensational backdrop to a range of activities celebrating Welsh language and culture. 797 branches of the Urdd took part in the Eisteddfod; 14,500 pieces of Art, Design and Technology work were submitted and 70,000 names from all parts of Wales and beyond were registered to compete in a wide range of competitions. My congratulations to all those who took part. Museum of Cardiff The Cardiff Story Museum has launched a new appeal for funds with a change of name. As a result, from 3rd June 2019, the Cardiff Story has become the Museum of Cardiff. This move coincides with the museum’s plan to raise half a million pounds to help support future programmes, exhibitions and education work. The museum is now 8 years old and, in that time, it has welcomed over 1.1 million visitors from Cardiff and all over the world.

  • Assessment 02Assessment2
    ASSESSMENT 02ASSESSMENT2 13 SITE LOCATION PLAN 14 PLASDWR | DESIGN AND ACCESS STATEMENT ASSESSMENT 02 THE SITE 2.1 The site encompasses two farmsteads, namely Pentrebane and Maes- y-llech, as well as a former farm building/ residence at Ty Gwyn. 2.2 Land to the north of Pentrebane Road is primarily in agricultural use and is used for grazing, crop production and occasional horticulture. The land is compartmentalised by hedgerows and woodland blocks of varying size, condition and status, and in parts is of a poor quality resulting from a lack of management and regular maintenance. 2.3 In terms of the quality of the agricultural land, the land within the site is predominantly classified as Grade 3a and 3b land. There are no areas of Grade 1 or Grade 2 land within the site. The distribution of Grade 3a and 3b land appears to reflect the prevailing topography, with plateau areas generally consisting of the higher Grade 3a land and the sloping ground Grade 3b land. 2.4 As well as hedgerows, woodland and grassland areas, a number of ponds, streams and ditches are located within the site which provide wildlife corridors through the site and the wider landscape. 2.5 Key woodland blocks provide screening and shelter, as well as a framework for the wider landscape. These include woodland at Coed-y-Trenches, Hafwrt, Coed-y-Gof, Waterhall Plantation and Coedbychan. The pattern of woodland largely follows the topography of the site, with many of the steep slopes having coverage.
