There are also concerns about waste storage, parking and access to the site.\u201d<br \/>\nIt took four meetings between Cathays councillors and two site visits before the application was rejected. The plans had been recommended for approval at the third meeting, but this was then held back due to residents\u2019 concerns before being rejected.<br \/>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The scheme was rejected because the accommodation would have been overlooking houses on Dalton Street, May Street and Minny Street and would have created issues with privacy for the surrounding houses. The proposal also breached planning guidance on using vacant land in a city area.<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Chris Weaver, Labour Councillor for Cathays, said: \u201cThe space just isn\u2019t big enough for a development that large. It would be intrusive, overbearing and a classic example of town cramming. I believe it was certainly not in keeping with planning guidance in major ways, and so it was rightly rejected.\u201d<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Maria Mellor, 20, a student and resident of Cosmeston Street said: \u201cI like that Cathays is the student capital of Cardiff, but I don\u2019t think it\u2019s a good idea to have even more students here. It gets so busy during term times and it would be terrible for full-time residents who have to deal with it all year.\u201d<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400\">A previous planning application for 90 Minny Street, which was submitted and rejected in 2008, involved\u00a0demolishing the warehouse buildings on the site and build 21 self-contained flats.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A PLAN to demolish a former laundry in Cathays and replace it with student accommodation has been rejected after residents opposed the scheme.
