Since our updates on Cardiff Parkway earlier this year we have been working with a range of stakeholders to make progress with the project, and wanted to provide you with further information about what has been happening.
As you will likely be aware, the Welsh Government granted final planning permission for Cardiff Parkway at the end of January, and this was a significant step forward for the project.
Following the granting of planning permission, there was an initial period when the decision by the Welsh Government could have been subject to judicial review. We are pleased that this period has now passed, and the project now has greater certainty.
However, there are a number of matters that still need to be resolved. The planning permission included a range of conditions that are being assessed and we are continuing to liaise with local, regional and national stakeholders to consider their aspirations for the project.
Our ambition is to ensure that the scheme delivers on its commitments, including to improve local transport, deliver economic opportunities, and preserve, protect and enhance the local environment. To ensure that happens there is a lot of upfront work and planning to be done.
We appreciate that the Cardiff Parkway project has taken far longer to reach this point than everyone had hoped. It is a large and complex project, with the power to transform. As such, there are many stakeholders to engage, with a wide range views to consider as we aim to realise the vision.
Extensive work is currently taking place to ensure that happens and we will provide further updates when there is new information.
