Cardiff Council have approved the biggest building project | :00:16. | :00:22. | |
The local development plan spells out where in the capital 41,000 | :00:23. | :00:27. | |
Around half have either already been built or been approved by planners | :00:28. | :00:32. | |
but the remaining 18,000 are proving controversial with objectors raising | :00:33. | :00:36. | |
concerns over transport links and building on the green belt. | :00:37. | :00:40. | |
Some critics have said it will ruin Cardiff's reputation | :00:41. | :00:44. | |
The result was not unexpected. The new local development plan for | :00:45. | :01:00. | |
Cardiff approved. The decision came after two hours of debate. I don't | :01:01. | :01:05. | |
want to see a Cardiff that is growing, and with good quality | :01:06. | :01:11. | |
locally -based housing for its workers. In the last two years this | :01:12. | :01:17. | |
Labour administration has started to fix the problem in the city and we | :01:18. | :01:24. | |
will fix the housing shortage we face. What you are going to adopt | :01:25. | :01:28. | |
this evening is a chart of the landowners and building companies to | :01:29. | :01:34. | |
make massive profit in the city and it's us, the citizens, who are going | :01:35. | :01:39. | |
to pay the price. So what will it mean? In 2006 it was proposed that | :01:40. | :01:45. | |
the 41,000 new homes should be built in the city by 2026. 23,000 of these | :01:46. | :01:51. | |
have already been built or have planning approval. But more than | :01:52. | :01:57. | |
13,000 are now planned for five greenfield sites across the city. | :01:58. | :02:01. | |
The council says the local development plan will shape the city | :02:02. | :02:05. | |
for the future in a way which is sustainable and forward-thinking. | :02:06. | :02:10. | |
But others believe development on the scale proposed in the areas | :02:11. | :02:14. | |
earmarked under this plan will bring traffic chaos. Down the road, we | :02:15. | :02:21. | |
know there is going to be a bus lane but in opposite the BBC studios but | :02:22. | :02:26. | |
that will only go so far. When it gets to hear, it is going to be | :02:27. | :02:31. | |
gridlock. Cardiff will get a reputation as a gridlock city. | :02:32. | :02:36. | |
You'll get 20,000 commuters from 20,000 homes coming down that road | :02:37. | :02:41. | |
and they are going to be at a standstill. Those backing the plan | :02:42. | :02:44. | |
believe it it will deliver 40,000 new jobs. It will now be examined by | :02:45. | :02:47. | |
the Welsh Government. Serious concerns | :02:48. | :02:51. | |
about NHS finances in Wales have It comes after the announcement that | :02:52. | :02:54. | |
three Welsh health boards failed to balance their books by the end | :02:55. | :02:58. | |
of the financial year. Cardiff and Vale University Health | :02:59. | :03:01. | |
Board, Hywel Dda University Health Board and Powys Teaching Board each | :03:02. | :03:03. | |
overspent by almost ?20 million. The Health Minister says | :03:04. | :03:06. | |
the problems must be addressed A jury at Newport Crown Court has | :03:07. | :03:08. | |
heard how a man who shot his wife Gary Bidmore, who was the partner | :03:09. | :03:20. | |
of Caroline Parry when she died, said Christopher Parry became | :03:21. | :03:24. | |
"aggressive" after she walked out on He said | :03:25. | :03:26. | |
the 49-year-old verbally abused her, Mr Parry denies murdering | :03:27. | :03:29. | |
Caroline Parry in Newport in August, The audit office is looking into the | :03:30. | :03:51. | |
regeneration investment fund for Wales but Chris Holley says it | :03:52. | :03:58. | |
delivered value for money. The regeneration investment fund for | :03:59. | :04:01. | |
Wales carried out one of the biggest sales of publicly owned land in | :04:02. | :04:06. | |
Wales for many years and included this, 120 acres of farmland on the | :04:07. | :04:12. | |
northern edge of Cardiff. It was sold to the private sector for | :04:13. | :04:16. | |
around ?15,000 an acre. Four months later it was included in the | :04:17. | :04:22. | |
council's planning blueprint for new housing. It means all of this could | :04:23. | :04:26. | |
become some of the most valuable residential land in Wales. It has a | :04:27. | :04:32. | |
potential increase in value of tens of millions of pounds. So why didn't | :04:33. | :04:39. | |
they wait longer before selling? It is a question I put Chris Holley, | :04:40. | :04:43. | |
the first senior member of the fund to speak openly about the deal. It | :04:44. | :04:52. | |
is a very long trawler process with enormous amounts of illegal | :04:53. | :04:59. | |
activity. Did you think, the value of this land is about to increase | :05:00. | :05:03. | |
traumatically, did you ever ask the question, are we doing the right | :05:04. | :05:11. | |
thing? The one thing I know about planning is that it is the most | :05:12. | :05:17. | |
unpredictable thing you can imagine. It is very difficult to second-guess | :05:18. | :05:24. | |
planning officers. In all 16 sites were sold by the regeneration | :05:25. | :05:31. | |
investment fund for Wales. The sites were sold to the private sector for | :05:32. | :05:35. | |
?21 million. The Welsh Government has said there are serious questions | :05:36. | :05:42. | |
and has brought it under the direct control of ministers. The latest | :05:43. | :05:47. | |
development from South Wales polices confirmation they will be no | :05:48. | :05:53. | |
criminal investigation. I am relieved because I know we did | :05:54. | :05:58. | |
nothing wrong. We followed the guidelines and did everything | :05:59. | :06:02. | |
according to what the governance of any board should do. Staff here at | :06:03. | :06:09. | |
the audit office will be putting the finishing touches on the report this | :06:10. | :06:12. | |
summer and will be focusing on wide at a time when even relatively | :06:13. | :06:19. | |
modest deals done by the public sector go through an open tendering | :06:20. | :06:23. | |
process, here we had one of the biggest sales of publicly owned land | :06:24. | :06:27. | |
in recent years in Wales and it was done privately rather than through | :06:28. | :06:49. | |
some form of public auction. An inquest concluded the officers did | :06:50. | :06:53. | |
not take appropriate action including administering first aid | :06:54. | :06:55. | |

He told his family he was going walking in the hills last week | :07:15. | :07:17. | |
He was due to fly back to the UK on Tuesday. | :07:18. | :07:22. | |
People might have returned from holiday last week and may have | :07:23. | :07:28. | |
bumped into him in the hills. They might not be aware he is missing. If | :07:29. | :07:33. | |
they see any thing that rings a bell, he is the sort of person you | :07:34. | :07:39. | |
will remember so I just hope somebody knows. | :07:40. | :07:42. | |
