It is expected to take up a significant section of the park&#8217;s current site.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The park is publicly owned land and an amendment was tabled by Cardiff Liberal Democrats that could have prevented the land being sold to developers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, the amendment didn&#8217;t pass after failing to gain the support of Labour and Conservative councillors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Cardiff Liberal Democrats had previously launched a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cardiffld.org.uk\/save_our_open_space\">petition<\/a> opposing the museum&#8217;s proposed location, highlighting the fact the site is one of Cardiff Bay&#8217;s only green spaces and includes a children&#8217;s play area. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Councillor Rodney Berman said: &#8220;You&#8217;ll be taking away an area that people currently enjoy in a part of the city where there&#8217;s already a deficiency of public space.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;Given there&#8217;s an awful lot of opposition to the museum going on that site, I have been trying to persuade the council to take another approach, to find a different site.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;The council once previously stepped in to save this land from development. How on earth are they saving it from development if they just sell it on to another developer?&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Councillor Berman said Cardiff Council may be set on the museum&#8217;s proposed site because of large scale redevelopment planned around a new indoor arena in Cardiff Bay.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;The museum was previously going to be located on part of the site where the indoor arena is going,&#8221; he said. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;I believe the council is basically sacrificing this piece of public open space because they want to get their big bang arena.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Responding to the council&#8217;s rejection of his amendment, Cllr Berman was critical of Labour and Conservative councillors for failing to back the amendment. He was particularly critical of Butetown&#8217;s Councillor Saeed Ebrahim.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Berman said: &#8220;He did object to the planning application but he didn&#8217;t turn up to the planning meeting when the application was discussed, whereas I did. So he wasn&#8217;t there to argue against it to committee members. Yesterday he didn&#8217;t support our amendment which would have stopped the sell-off of this land.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Councillor Ebrahim has been contacted for a comment.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Cardiff Councillors yesterday rejected an amendment that would have prevented the council from selling the land to developers for the
