Cardiff unveils plans for the future

Thousands of new homes and four major road schemes are planned for Cardiff under new plans for the future of the Welsh city.

The multi-million pound scheme for the next 13 years includes the use of brownfield sites for an estimated 16,800 new houses.

It is hoped that building on these previously developed areas will mean fewer houses will have to be constructed on greenbelt land.

Proposed new road schemes include a new M4 interchange at Thornhill.

City residents have been invited to view the proposals and have until 9 December to submit any objections.

A full public inquiry will then be held.
