Residents are concerned over parking, community spaces and lack of social housing<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

PLANS to convert the long-derelict Tredegar pub into flats in Adamsdown has stirred a mixed reaction within the community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The pub, a landmark at the junction of Clifton Street and Pearl Street, has been derelict for 17 years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cardiff Council approved plans to convert it into 15 flats in July 2024.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Planning documents said the scheme at 57-58 Clifton Street aims to provide “affordable”, “high standard” and “good-sized rooms”.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The documents also state the pub will undergo “conversion” rather than demolition, and that works must be carried out within the next two years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Full planning permission was subject to a Section 106 agreement which means the developer, Spiridion Micallef, 60, of Penarth, must pay \u00a321,477 to reduce any impact on the community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are mixed reactions among residents , however, over whether the development is the right option for Adamsdown.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

‘What about parking?’<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

\u201cParking is a serious issue. With 15 new people coming into the area, it will clog up all the parking spaces which are already restricted,\u201d said Catherine Razzell, 36, of Clifton Street, who lives with her husband and 10-month-old son.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The young family, who have lived next to the pub for seven years, continued: \u201cPeople need houses. We have no objection to that. There is a need for affordable housing but so much housing in Cardiff is cheaply made, including luxury flats.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
