Cabinet received a report regarding the Cardiff Local Heritage List. The report outlines the outcomes of a city-wide review and public consultation, which focused on identifying locally significant public houses, former hotels, and members’ clubs for inclusion. The process included desk-based research, site visits, and engagement with building owners, occupiers, and the wider community. Of the 71 buildings initially proposed, 69 were recommended for inclusion following the consultation, with a further five buildings assessed and recommended for addition, subject to further consultation with owners and occupiers. It was noted that the Local Heritage List plays a key role in recognising and protecting buildings of social, cultural, and architectural significance within Cardiff’s communities. The report clarified that inclusion on the list does not preclude alteration or demolition but ensures that the significance of these buildings is considered in future planning decisions. The intention to serve Article 4 Directions, where expedient and necessary, to restrict permitted development rights relating to the demolition of locally listed buildings was highlighted. The report further set out the process for making amendments to the list, including minor changes and nominations for ‘spot-listing’ or delisting.

RESOLVED: that 1. the monitored results gathered in 2024 be noted and accepted. 2. the 2025 Annual Progress Report (as attached as Appendix 1) be approved for submission to Welsh Government for approval and publication by the 31st of December 2025.
Cabinet received the annual progress report on Local Air Quality Management for 2025. The report provides an overview of air quality monitoring data collected during 2024, highlights compliance with national air quality objectives, and outlines progress on the implementation of the Council’s Clean Air Strategy and Action Plan. The report notes that air quality across Cardiff continues to improve, with all automatic and non-automatic monitoring sites recording nitrogen dioxide (NO?) and particulate matter (PM??) levels below the national annual mean objectives. Notably, no exceedances were recorded at any of the 99 non-automatic monitoring locations, and NO? concentrations have decreased by 36% since 2019. The report also confirms that the four Air Quality Management Areas (AQMAs) in Cardiff—City Centre, Ely Bridge, Llandaff, and Stephenson Court—are all currently compliant with the annual mean NO? objective, with several areas potentially suitable for revocation subject to further assessment. The ongoing implementation of the Clean Air Plan was noted, including the permanent scheme for Castle Street, which has resulted in a reduction of NO? levels from over 40µg/m³ to 30µg/m³ in 2024. It was acknowledged that the Council continues to work closely with Welsh Government to ensure compliance with legal directions and to secure funding for future improvements. Positive impact of measures were also highlighted such as the introduction of electric buses, taxi grant funds, and active travel initiatives, as well as the continued benefits of remote and hybrid working practices. RESOLVED: that 1. the monitored results gathered in 2024 be noted and accepted. 2. the 2025 Annual Progress Report (as attached as Appendix 1) be approved for submission to Welsh Government for approval and publication by the 31st of December 2025.
Cabinet received a report regarding the submission of the Deposit Replacement Local Development Plan (RLDP) for independent examination. The report provides an overview of the representations received during the public consultation on the Deposit RLDP, summarises the main issues raised, and outlines the Council’s responses, including whether any focussed or minor changes were necessary to ensure the soundness of the Plan. It was noted that 940 representations were received from 152 organisations, bodies, and individuals. Issues emerging from the consultation included topics such as housing growth and strategy, affordable housing, transport, biodiversity, climate change, heritage, and the Welsh language. Following consideration of the representations received it was concluded that no focussed changes were required to the Deposit RLDP, although a schedule of minor changes—reflecting updated circumstances, factual amendments, and clarifications—would be submitted alongside the Plan. These minor changes do not alter the scope of the policies contained in the RLDP. RESOVLED: that (1) the content of paragraph 10 and Appendix A be noted and accepted and it be agreed that the Deposit RLDP together with all supporting documentation listed in Appendix B are forwarded to Council for final approval and then submitted to the Welsh Government and Planning Inspectorate in accordance with the LDP Regulations; and (2) that in accordance with Welsh Government guidance and in order to facilitate the efficient operation of the examination process, that Council be recommended to delegate authority to the Council’s Director of Planning, Transport and Environment, Head of Planning, Operational Manager for Major Development and Placemaking and the Group Leader for Planning Policy to permit effective dialogue between the independent Inspector and Council representatives subject to consultation with the Cabinet Member for Climate Change, Strategic Planning as detailed in paragraph 14 of this report.
Cabinet received the budget monitoring report for month 6, which provided an update on the Council’s financial position as at the end of September 2025. The report outlines a projected net annual overspend of £2.963 million for 2025/26, after accounting for the use of specific contingencies and earmarked reserves. This position reflects ongoing pressures across several service areas, with a total Directorate net overspend of £7.863 million, partly offset by underspends in Capital Financing, the Summary Revenue Account, and Council Tax collection budgets. It was noted that the most significant overspends were reported in Children’s Services (£4.270 million), Education & Lifelong Learning (£1.890 million), Planning, Transport & Environment (£0.956 million), and Economic Development (£0.820 million). These were attributed to factors such as increased external placements, legal and software costs, underperformance in income generation, and operational overspends. Mitigating actions are being implemented to address these pressures, and the use of specific contingencies—particularly in Social Services—was highlighted as a key element of the Council’s financial resilience. The report also updates on the achievement of the Council’s savings targets, noting that performance against both efficiency and service change proposals was below the required level at month 6. The importance of improving savings delivery and maintaining tight financial control for the remainder of the year was noted. In terms of capital, the report projects an underspend of £2.900 million in Capital Financing and outlined a variance of £94.466 million against the General Fund element of the Capital Programme, mainly due to slippage in schemes. The Housing Revenue Account was reported to be balanced, with expenditure projections subject to change as the year progresses. The ongoing risks associated with construction cost inflation, grant funding timelines, and the need for robust contract management and due diligence was noted. RESOVLED: that 1. the projected revenue financial outturn based on the projected position at Month 6 2025/26 be noted. 2. the capital spend and projected position at Month 6 2025/26 be noted.

Cabinet received the Treasury Management Mid-Year Report for 2025/26, which provides an update on the Council’s treasury management activities from 1 April to 30 September 2025.

It was further noted that the Treasury Management Strategy remains valid, with no breaches or required changes in indicators reported at this stage.

Cabinet considered a report regarding the proposal to introduce a Visitor Levy for Cardiff and the associated requirement to undertake a formal consultation on the matter. The report outlines the legislative context following Royal Assent of the Act in September 2025, which enables local authorities in Wales to introduce an overnight visitor levy from April 2027. The proposed levy would apply to a range of accommodation types, with set amounts of 75 pence per person per night for campsite pitches or shared rooms, and £1.30 per person per night for other accommodation. Certain exemptions were noted, including stays exceeding 31 nights, emergency accommodation, and under-18s in specific settings. It was noted that the purpose of the levy is to support destination management and improvements, including mitigating the impact of visitors, promoting the Welsh language, supporting sustainable tourism growth, and enhancing infrastructure and services for visitors and residents. The report estimates that the levy could generate approximately £3.5 million annually, which would be invested in areas such as place promotion, visitor infrastructure, events, transport management, and sector support. The governance arrangements were also outlined, with the establishment of a Visitor Levy Partnership Forum to advise on the use of funds and oversee reporting requirements. The report highlights the statutory requirements for consultation, including the need to publish a report detailing the proposals, estimated proceeds, intended use of funds, and membership of the partnership forum. A 12-week consultation exercise is proposed to begin on 1 December 2025, engaging a broad range of stakeholders through workshops, meetings, and surveys. RESOLVED: that • the contents of the report be noted. • It be recommend that Council a) Approves the draft proposal for a visitor levy outlined in Appendix A and to proceed to consult on that proposal; b) Delegate authority to the Director of Economic Development, in consultation with the Cabinet Member for Investment & Development, to take all necessary steps required by legislation to be undertaken by the authority prior to adopting the levy, including finalising arrangements for the consultation exercise; and c) To note that following the consultation exercise, a further report will return to Cabinet and Council in March for final decision as to whether to proceed to adopt the proposed levy.
