:00:23. > :00:27.The local development plan spells out where in the capital 41,000
:00:28. > :00:32.Around half have either already been built or been approved by planners
:00:33. > :00:36.but the remaining 18,000 are proving controversial with objectors raising
:00:37. > :00:40.concerns over transport links and building on the green belt.
:00:41. > :00:44.Some critics have said it will ruin Cardiff's reputation
:00:45. > :01:00.The result was not unexpected. The new local development plan for
:01:01. > :01:05.Cardiff approved. The decision came after two hours of debate. I don't
:01:06. > :01:11.want to see a Cardiff that is growing, and with good quality
:01:12. > :01:17.locally -based housing for its workers. In the last two years this
:01:18. > :01:24.Labour administration has started to fix the problem in the city and we
:01:25. > :01:28.will fix the housing shortage we face. What you are going to adopt
:01:29. > :01:34.this evening is a chart of the landowners and building companies to
:01:35. > :01:39.make massive profit in the city and it's us, the citizens, who are going
:01:40. > :01:45.to pay the price. So what will it mean? In 2006 it was proposed that
:01:46. > :01:51.the 41,000 new homes should be built in the city by 2026. 23,000 of these
:01:52. > :01:57.have already been built or have planning approval. But more than
:01:58. > :02:01.13,000 are now planned for five greenfield sites across the city.
:02:02. > :02:05.The council says the local development plan will shape the city
:02:06. > :02:10.for the future in a way which is sustainable and forward-thinking.
:02:11. > :02:14.But others believe development on the scale proposed in the areas
:02:15. > :02:21.earmarked under this plan will bring traffic chaos. Down the road, we
:02:22. > :02:26.know there is going to be a bus lane but in opposite the BBC studios but
:02:27. > :02:31.that will only go so far. When it gets to hear, it is going to be
:02:32. > :02:36.gridlock. Cardiff will get a reputation as a gridlock city.
:02:37. > :02:41.You'll get 20,000 commuters from 20,000 homes coming down that road
:02:42. > :02:44.and they are going to be at a standstill. Those backing the plan
:02:45. > :02:47.believe it it will deliver 40,000 new jobs. It will now be examined by
:02:48. > :02:51.the Welsh Government. Serious concerns
:02:52. > :02:54.about NHS finances in Wales have It comes after the announcement that
:02:55. > :02:58.three Welsh health boards failed to balance their books by the end
:02:59. > :03:01.of the financial year. Cardiff and Vale University Health
:03:02. > :03:03.Board, Hywel Dda University Health Board and Powys Teaching Board each
:03:04. > :03:06.overspent by almost ?20 million. The Health Minister says
:03:07. > :03:08.the problems must be addressed A jury at Newport Crown Court has
:03:09. > :03:20.heard how a man who shot his wife Gary Bidmore, who was the partner
:03:21. > :03:24.of Caroline Parry when she died, said Christopher Parry became
:03:25. > :03:26."aggressive" after she walked out on He said
:03:27. > :03:29.the 49-year-old verbally abused her, Mr Parry denies murdering
:03:30. > :03:51.Caroline Parry in Newport in August, The audit office is looking into the
:03:52. > :03:58.regeneration investment fund for Wales but Chris Holley says it
:03:59. > :04:01.delivered value for money. The regeneration investment fund for
:04:02. > :04:06.Wales carried out one of the biggest sales of publicly owned land in
:04:07. > :04:12.Wales for many years and included this, 120 acres of farmland on the
:04:13. > :04:16.northern edge of Cardiff. It was sold to the private sector for
:04:17. > :04:22.around ?15,000 an acre. Four months later it was included in the
:04:23. > :04:26.council's planning blueprint for new housing. It means all of this could
:04:27. > :04:32.become some of the most valuable residential land in Wales. It has a
:04:33. > :04:39.potential increase in value of tens of millions of pounds. So why didn't
:04:40. > :04:43.they wait longer before selling? It is a question I put Chris Holley,
:04:44. > :04:52.the first senior member of the fund to speak openly about the deal. It
:04:53. > :04:59.is a very long trawler process with enormous amounts of illegal
:05:00. > :05:03.activity. Did you think, the value of this land is about to increase
:05:04. > :05:11.traumatically, did you ever ask the question, are we doing the right
:05:12. > :05:17.thing? The one thing I know about planning is that it is the most
:05:18. > :05:24.unpredictable thing you can imagine. It is very difficult to second-guess
:05:25. > :05:31.planning officers. In all 16 sites were sold by the regeneration
:05:32. > :05:35.investment fund for Wales. The sites were sold to the private sector for
:05:36. > :05:42.?21 million. The Welsh Government has said there are serious questions
:05:43. > :05:47.and has brought it under the direct control of ministers. The latest
:05:48. > :05:53.development from South Wales polices confirmation they will be no
:05:54. > :05:58.criminal investigation. I am relieved because I know we did
:05:59. > :06:02.nothing wrong. We followed the guidelines and did everything
:06:03. > :06:09.according to what the governance of any board should do. Staff here at
:06:10. > :06:12.the audit office will be putting the finishing touches on the report this
:06:13. > :06:19.summer and will be focusing on wide at a time when even relatively

:06:24. > :06:27.process, here we had one of the biggest sales of publicly owned land
:06:28. > :06:49.in recent years in Wales and it was done privately rather than through
