About the area
Planning in Cardiff
Cardiff Council is the planning authority for the Welsh capital and one of the busiest in Wales. Planning in Cardiff works within the Welsh system, guided by Future Wales: the National Plan 2040 and Planning Policy Wales, with the council’s Local Development Plan setting out where new homes and jobs go. Applications range from city-centre towers and student accommodation to large housing sites on the edge of the city.
Much of the city’s recent growth has been in the city centre and Cardiff Bay, alongside major new neighbourhoods in the north-west and east of the city. Transport, flood risk and green infrastructure are recurring issues, and many projects are linked to the Cardiff Capital Region City Deal. Roles cover development management, planning policy, urban design and heritage, with consultancies and developers also hiring in the city.
