Any trains before 9:30am or after 4:30pm are impossible to get either on or a seat on. Likewise, the buses are too often full by the time they get to Morrisons heading into town.&#8221;<br \/>\nTransport shortfalls in the area are the main reasons for objections among Llanishen residents.<br \/>\nDr Mairian Thomas lives in Pentland Close, a new housing estate opposite the Travis Perkins site, and objects due to concerns about the current levels of traffic along Malvern Drive from resident and commuter parking. She thinks the site should be turned into a car park for the train station.<br \/>\n\u201cI have raised issues with the local councillor about the unsafe excessive volume of traffic on Ashbourne Way. Despite a notification that double yellow lines would be instated months ago, this is yet to happen,\u201d said Dr Thomas.<br \/>\nAnother resident of Pentland Close, Thomas Mumford, said: \u201cI purchased this property partly due to the quiet road in front. I would have reconsidered buying in this area had I known the bollards would be removed (see here) combined with the introduction of an entrance to multiple properties.\u201d<br \/>\nConservative councillor for Llanishen, Thomas Parkhill, told The Cardiffian that he approves of the development of the brownfield site in principle but would like to see the submitted plans amended to offer more parking.<br \/>\n<figure id=\"attachment_24688\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-24688\" style=\"width: 300px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-image-24688 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/thecardiffian\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2018\/02\/cars-parked-300x232.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"232\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/thecardiffian\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2018\/02\/cars-parked-300x232.png 300w, https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/thecardiffian\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2018\/02\/cars-parked-770x595.png 770w, https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/thecardiffian\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2018\/02\/cars-parked-500x386.png 500w, https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/thecardiffian\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2018\/02\/cars-parked-293x226.png 293w, https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/thecardiffian\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2018\/02\/cars-parked.png 866w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-24688\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-24688 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/thecardiffian\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2018\/02\/cars-parked-300x232.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"232\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/thecardiffian\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2018\/02\/cars-parked-300x232.png 300w, https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/thecardiffian\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2018\/02\/cars-parked-770x595.png 770w, https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/thecardiffian\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2018\/02\/cars-parked-500x386.png 500w, https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/thecardiffian\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2018\/02\/cars-parked-293x226.png 293w, https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/thecardiffian\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2018\/02\/cars-parked.png 866w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/noscript> Parked cars belonging to commuters and residents along both sides of Malvern Drive<\/figcaption><\/figure><br \/>\nJodie Nicholls lives in the area with her two young children. \u201cWe already take our lives into our hands crossing the roads around that area due to the inconsiderate parking by businesses in the area,\u201d she said.<br \/>\nThe proposed development will be built with only 39 car parking spaces. The planning statement considers this to \u201cappropriately meet Linc\u2019s needs and reflects the tenure and occupancy profile of the units.\u201d Cycle parking for 72 bikes will also be provided.<br \/>\nThe lack of parking has caused some raised eyebrows in the area.
