\nPLANS for a new block of student accommodation in Maindy has been met with 17 objections from residents. <\/span>
\nIf it goes ahead the accommodation will be located on the junction of North Road and Maindy Road. \u00a0<\/span>
\nGraham Hackett, 74 from Cathays said: \u201cThere will be too many people in too small of an area with too many cars.<\/span>
\n\u201cThere will be more fast food outlets and litter. Can\u2019t students be shared over a wider area? <\/span>
\n\u201cDoes the university want to cleanse the area of all non-students?\u201d<\/span>
\nThe original buildings on the site would be demolished, as they are said by the developers to be in a \u201cstate of disrepair\u201d. <\/span>
\nThey include a garage, a gym and a vacant storage unit. <\/span>
\nJM Properties Management wants to develop accommodation for 139 students. <\/span>
\nIt would be three to four storeys high on one side, but increase to six storeys on the western side. <\/span>
\nThe ground floor would include a common room area and a coffee shop. There would also be cycle storage and a refuse and recycling area. <\/span>
\nThe new accommodation will be close to existing student housing at Cambrian Point and Severn Point.<\/span>
