I think this was also a concern of the residents at the site visit.<br \/>\n\u201cThey didn\u2019t seem to be opposed to the development of housing, but were concerned that some roads in the area are particularly narrow.<br \/>\n\u201cI couldn\u2019t see how all the lorries would be able to transport heavy materials to the site, but apart from that I thought the plans were excellent.\u201d<br \/>\nUp to 104 letters of objection have been submitted against the proposal.<br \/>\nMembers of Radyr and Morganstown Community Council and Fairwater councillor, Paul Mitchell opposed the plan.<br \/>\nCouncillor Mitchell said: \u201cThe previous Lib Dem-Plaid administration ignored advice and produced a ridiculous brownfield only policy of vertical slums that was rejected as it was in breach of planning law.<br \/>\n<iframe class=\"zeen-lazy-load-base zeen-lazy-load\" src=\"about:blank\" data-lazy-src=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/maps\/d\/embed?mid=zyWfh6n4_ar4.k8WBDQAFFROQ\" width=\"640\" height=\"480\"><\/iframe><noscript><iframe src=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/maps\/d\/embed?mid=zyWfh6n4_ar4.k8WBDQAFFROQ\" width=\"640\" height=\"480\"><\/iframe><\/noscript><br \/>\n\u201cThey attacked the process and voted to delay the LDP until after the May 2012 election.
