complaints in the past over late-night noise, smoking and drunk and disorderly clients spilling on to the residential street.<br \/>\nResidents fear the number of new bars and restaurants will\u00a0have a negative impact on the quiet, family-orientated area.<br \/>\nAdam Gordon, a Bangor Street resident, said: &#8220;We have been heard at the licensing stage but at the planning stage we felt like we were completely ignored.<br \/>\n&#8220;There was no planning hearing so we couldn&#8217;t be heard because there was no open forum for us to object.<br \/>\n&#8220;On Wellfield Road you have several restaurants and bars and the noise is only going to get worse.\u00a0Where does it stop?&#8221;<br \/>\nResident Rhys Miles Thomas said he was disappointed with the decision but ultimately &#8220;it&#8217;s what was expected&#8221;.<br \/>\n&#8220;We just hope now that everything that they [the planning committee] said will be respected.&#8221;<br \/>\nRestaurant owner Jahan Abedi, who owns another Porro branch Llandaff, said: &#8220;It&#8217;s going to improve the area.\u00a0Wellfield Road was an upmarket area but it has gone downhill in recent years and we hope to be a welcome addition to the area.&#8221;<br \/>\nThe licensing committee approved the\u00a0application for the new restaurant, citing that the &#8220;professional and responsible operatives&#8221; have a history of not disrupting the neighbouring areas in\u00a0their other establishments.<br \/>\nSpeaking to local residents at City Hall, they added: &#8220;We appreciate your worries and concerns and should they\u00a0prove valid, you have the opportunity to come back to the committee&#8221;.<br \/>\nAnother resident, who asked not to be named, said: &#8220;We have to hope for the best and watch them like a hawk to make sure they are keeping to the terms of the license&#8221;.<br \/>\n&#8220;We don&#8217;t want to become another City Road, where we just have restaurant after restaurant&#8221;.<br \/>\nNow that plans have been approved, development of the new restaurant is expected to start in the coming weeks.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>ROATH
