This is our view and we\u2019d like it to be done again, independently, because we think they are massaging the results,\u201d said Simon Newman, another resident of Pentre Gardens.<br \/>\n\u201cThis is going to make it far worse, and takes away the best light at the only real time of the day that we get it,\u201d added Mrs Davies.<br \/>\n<figure id=\"attachment_30457\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-30457\" style=\"width: 440px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\" wp-image-30457\" src=\"https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/thecardiffian\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2018\/11\/IMG_1719-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"440\" height=\"330\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/thecardiffian\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2018\/11\/IMG_1719-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/thecardiffian\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2018\/11\/IMG_1719-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/thecardiffian\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2018\/11\/IMG_1719-770x578.jpg 770w, https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/thecardiffian\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2018\/11\/IMG_1719-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/thecardiffian\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2018\/11\/IMG_1719-2048x1536.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/thecardiffian\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2018\/11\/IMG_1719-500x375.jpg 500w, https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/thecardiffian\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2018\/11\/IMG_1719-293x220.jpg 293w, https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/thecardiffian\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2018\/11\/IMG_1719-1400x1050.jpg 1400w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 440px) 100vw, 440px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-30457\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-30457\" src=\"https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/thecardiffian\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2018\/11\/IMG_1719-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"440\" height=\"330\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/thecardiffian\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2018\/11\/IMG_1719-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/thecardiffian\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2018\/11\/IMG_1719-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/thecardiffian\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2018\/11\/IMG_1719-770x578.jpg 770w, https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/thecardiffian\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2018\/11\/IMG_1719-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/thecardiffian\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2018\/11\/IMG_1719-2048x1536.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/thecardiffian\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2018\/11\/IMG_1719-500x375.jpg 500w, https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/thecardiffian\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2018\/11\/IMG_1719-293x220.jpg 293w, https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/thecardiffian\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2018\/11\/IMG_1719-1400x1050.jpg 1400w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 440px) 100vw, 440px\" \/><\/noscript> Bottleworks Wharf will be situated on the old Track 2000 site on the corner of Taff Embankment and Penarth Road<\/figcaption><\/figure><br \/>\nThe Bottleworks development is one of many projects undertaken by Rightacres in the Welsh capital. It is also responsible for constructing Two Central Square, the home of Cardiff University Journalism School, as well as the redevelopment of the Brains Brewery site, and the new bus station on Wood Street.<br \/>\n\u201cWhat Rightacres are trying to do is something I call \u2018insurgent development\u2019,&#8221; said Mr Newman.<br \/>\n\u201cWhat he [Paul McCarthy, chief executive of Rightacres] is arguing is that because this development is on the other side of the river overlooking his other developments, the planning rules for a residential area shouldn\u2019t apply and they should assess these proposals in accordance with the rules for commercial areas.&#8221;<br \/>\n\u201cGrangetown has its own identity compared to that side of the river. It\u2019s a completely different identity over here,\u201d added Mr Newman.<br \/>\nPentre Garden residents are also concerned about traffic. Despite there being 74 residential units at Bottleworks, there will be only 57 car parking spaces.<br \/>\n\u201cWe\u2019ve called it Bottleneck Wharf because it\u2019s going to bottleneck this end of the road,&#8221; said Mr Newman<br \/>\n\u201cThere\u2019s probably going to be about 80 cars there, minimum, where on earth are they going to go?<br \/>\n\u201cI don\u2019t know where everyone\u2019s going to park because we\u2019re at 100% capacity,\u201d added Mrs Davies.<br \/>\nLast week residents at Pentre Gardens obtained the signatures of 51 households in the area. It means they can nominate someone to speak at council to raise residents&#8217; concerns.<br \/>\n\u201cIt feels like the whole process is weighted against you,\u201d said Mr Newman, of the three minutes allocated to that spokesperson.<br \/>\n\u201cIs it going to be done on guidance and law, or is it going to be done on regeneration, money, and Rightacres?\u201d<br \/>\nRightacres&#8217; Paul McCarthy had met with residents of Pentre Gardens to discuss plans for the site and to allay any fears they may have. The relationship broke down soon after, with Grangetown councillors Ashley Lister and Lynda Thorne acting as intermediaries.<br \/>\nCouncillor Ashley Lister told <em>The Cardiffian<\/em><strong>: <\/strong>\u201cI appreciate the fact that Rightacres have taken on board some of the comments made by the residents, myself and Lynda. There\u2019s still a few issues we are still trying to discuss with Rightacres and in fairness to them they are still being open with us in coming back with responses\u201d<br \/>\n<figure id=\"attachment_30460\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-30460\" style=\"width: 392px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\" wp-image-30460\" src=\"https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/thecardiffian\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2018\/11\/IMG_1721-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"392\" height=\"294\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/thecardiffian\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2018\/11\/IMG_1721-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/thecardiffian\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2018\/11\/IMG_1721-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/thecardiffian\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2018\/11\/IMG_1721-770x578.jpg 770w, https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/thecardiffian\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2018\/11\/IMG_1721-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/thecardiffian\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2018\/11\/IMG_1721-2048x1536.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/thecardiffian\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2018\/11\/IMG_1721-500x375.jpg 500w, https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/thecardiffian\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2018\/11\/IMG_1721-293x220.jpg 293w, https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/thecardiffian\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2018\/11\/IMG_1721-1400x1050.jpg 1400w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 392px) 100vw, 392px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-30460\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-30460\" src=\"https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/thecardiffian\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2018\/11\/IMG_1721-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"392\" height=\"294\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/thecardiffian\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2018\/11\/IMG_1721-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/thecardiffian\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2018\/11\/IMG_1721-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/thecardiffian\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2018\/11\/IMG_1721-770x578.jpg 770w, https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/thecardiffian\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2018\/11\/IMG_1721-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/thecardiffian\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2018\/11\/IMG_1721-2048x1536.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/thecardiffian\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2018\/11\/IMG_1721-500x375.jpg 500w, https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/thecardiffian\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2018\/11\/IMG_1721-293x220.jpg 293w, https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/thecardiffian\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2018\/11\/IMG_1721-1400x1050.jpg 1400w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 392px) 100vw, 392px\" \/><\/noscript> Residents of Pentre Gardens have expressed fears over traffic and access to sunlight over the latest Bottleworks proposals.<\/figcaption><\/figure><br \/>\nCouncillor Lister had previously upset residents with comments about his liking of tall buildings, but the Grangetown representative maintains that he doesn&#8217;t wish for the suburb to be a region full of high-rises.<br \/>\nHe stated: \u201cI think I stirred a bit of fear with residents when I said I like tall buildings but that does not mean I want to see Grangetown become an area full of skyscrapers.<br \/>\n\u201cIf you look at Liberty Living just at the other end of the block there are some of these high-rise developments within the traditional terraced area of Grangetown.
