Planning Consultants in Cardiff
Cardiff is the capital of Wales and its most active planning authority. Planning in Wales is governed by Planning Policy Wales (PPW) and Technical Advice Notes (TANs) — a distinct policy framework from the NPPF applicable in England. Cardiff's Local Development Plan guides development across the city, with major residential growth in Cardiff Bay and the city centre, and strong commercial development throughout.
