The Planning Committee met on 8 October 2026 and granted three planning applications. The applications cover a change of use from nursery to a house in multiple occupation in Pentwyn, a discount foodstore in Old St Mellons and a rear extension in Heath. The Committee decided them under its delegated powers, in line with officers' recommendations.
The Planning Committee considered a schedule of planning applications on 3 September 2026. It refused planning permission for an extension and change of use at Bangor Street, Roath, and for a bungalow at Whitland Close, Fairwater. It granted listed building consent for works at the Bangor Street building.
The Committee deferred a planning application for repairs, extension and change of use in Bangor Street, Roath, giving reasons for refusal that the extension would have an overbearing effect on a neighbouring home. It granted applications for 11 supported living apartments in Ely and a garden room in Llandaff North, and granted a housing application south of Willowbrook Drive, Trowbridge, subject to a legal agreement.
The Planning Committee met on 2 July 2026 and considered three planning applications. It deferred the two Bangor Street applications for a site visit and approved the Wolfs Castle Inn application subject to a Section 106 agreement.
The Planning Committee dealt with one main item: changes to how planning decisions are shared between the committee and officers, and to the committee's procedures. It approved the changes with amendments. These include a new right for the public to speak, a 48-hour deadline for late representations, and a recommendation to Cabinet to end automatic committee referral of petitions with 50 or more signatures.
The Planning Committee on 4 June 2026 granted planning permission for five applications in Cardiff. They cover temporary live events at Blackweir Fields, a co-living building in Cathays, two foot and cycle bridges over the River Taff, and a house extension in Rhiwbina. The co-living building was granted subject to a legal agreement with the developer.
The Planning Committee granted two planning applications on 14 May 2026. One is for a waste transfer facility at the former Wedal Road civic amenity site in Cathays, with an extra condition on a noise fence, and the other varies conditions for the Red Dragon Centre and County Hall site at Atlantic Wharf, Butetown, subject to a legal agreement.
The Planning Committee met on 23 April 2026. It deferred a decision on a planning application to re-use the former Wedal Road civic amenity site in Cathays as a waste transfer facility, so members could visit the site first. It also noted an appeals update and the applications decided under delegated powers, which let officers decide some applications without a committee vote.
The Planning Committee granted three planning applications at its meeting on 12 March 2026. One was granted subject to a Section 106 agreement, which is a legal agreement with the developer, and one was granted with an added condition on gates and barriers on footpaths. The Committee also noted applications decided under delegated powers, and one councillor declared personal interests in three of them.
The Planning Committee considered planning applications on 12 February 2026. It granted two applications: one for co-living homes at 51-59 Penarth Road, Butetown, and one for affordable houses on the former Fairwater Social & Athletic Club site. Both permissions depend on legal agreements with the developers, called Section 106 agreements.
The Planning Committee met on 15 January 2026 and approved the minutes of its previous meeting. Its main decision was to grant planning permission for a 3G pitch, floodlighting, changing rooms and associated works at St Teilos High School, Llanedeyrn. The minutes also record one councillor's personal interest in a delegated decision on 14 Holly Grove, Lisvane.
The minute lists both under applications granted, in line with officers' recommendations. Petitions for and against were presented, and one councillor declared a prejudicial interest in the Butetown item.
It also approved three applications to stop up or divert public highways and footpaths, which were passed to Legal Services to process the legal orders.
It granted permission for a change of use to a betting office at 30 Countisbury Avenue, Llanrumney, subject to conditions. It also granted permission for a residential tower of up to 30 storeys at Harlech Court, Bute Terrace, subject to a binding legal agreement. It approved starting the legal process to divert a public footpath at Pentyrch and St Fagans.
The minute does not record the reasons for these decisions.
Cancelled

They included a building of up to ten storeys with commercial space and student flats at The Wharf, Schooner Way, Butetown, and temporary school buildings at the former Fitzalan High School site in Canton for Lansdowne Primary School. The Committee also gave officers delegated authority, meaning power to act without a further Committee vote, to change conditions and legal agreement terms for the Schooner Way scheme.
Cancelled
It approved the minutes of the 13 March meeting and considered planning applications. It granted application 25/00517/VAR for 7 Thornhill Road, Rhiwbina, which changes the conditions on an earlier permission to allow a fish and chip shop and a new extraction system.
It granted two applications: a change of use to a restaurant and takeaway at 129 Caerphilly Road, Heath, and the retention of 52 temporary homes and community buildings at Hafan, Ferry Road, Grangetown.
The Committee granted the application, subject to the conditions in the report.
The Planning Committee met on 6 February 2025 to consider development management applications and a legal order for a cycle track at Albert Street and Picton Place, Canton. It deferred one housing application for a site visit, refused two other applications, and approved the cycle track order so Legal Services can process it.
The Planning Committee considered six planning applications on 16 January 2025. It granted four, deferred one so councillors could visit the site, and refused one. Councillors who had declared interests in some applications left the meeting or did not vote on them.
On 12 December 2024 the Planning Committee decided several planning applications in Cardiff. It granted permission for a change of use at Pontcanna Mews with new noise and opening-hour conditions, and for a two-storey house at the rear of 19A Heol-Y-Coed, Rhiwbina.
Cancelled
The Planning Committee considered planning applications on 7 November 2024. It granted two major Cardiff schemes subject to Section 106 agreements, granted one school application, and deferred three applications so councillors could visit the sites.
The Planning Committee met on 17 October 2024 and granted one planning application: an energy park and data centre on land at Rover Way, Splott. The grant is subject to the applicant entering into a binding Section 106 agreement, a legal agreement with the council that must be signed before permission is issued. Councillor Ed Stubbs declared a prejudicial interest, which means he must not take part in the decision, and he left the meeting for that item.
Cancelled
