We are proposing changes to parking around Llandaff Village and would like to hear from you.
What we are proposing
We are proposing to:
- introduce resident permit only areas,
- introduce additional parking controls on the High Street to prevent obstructive parking, increase the amount of dedicated disabled parking, and
- introduce new yellow lines where vehicles are parking causing an obstruction.
Why we are proposing changes
These changes are to help:
- prioritise parking space for residents and their visitors, support businesses by ensuring there is a turnover of vehicles, make it easier for shoppers and visitors to find convenient parking, improve disabled access,
- stop inconsiderate and obstructive parking, and
- generally improve parking conditions for the community.
Location of the changes
Our proposals would mean that the following roads would be resident only parking:
- Bridge Street
- Heol Y Pavin
- Heol Fair
- Imperial Buildings
- The Cathedral Green (residential cul-de-sac)
- The Avenue
- Palace Avenue
- Caewal Road (between Ely Road and Western Avenue)
On the High Street, we are proposing to:
- increase loading controls to prevent obstructive parking,
- introduce new disabled parking bays, and
- reopen the in-filled parking bay fronting Llandaff Pharmacy.
On Mitre Place, we are proposing new shared use short-stay parking bays.
Parking in these bays would be limited to 2 hours maximum stay, except permit holders who may park for as long as needed.
We are not currently proposing any restrictions around the Cathedral Green, as we are developing separate proposals for this area.

When the parking zone would operate
The standard times of parking controls would be 8am to 6:30pm, Monday to Saturday.
This is when most parking restrictions, such as permit parking, limited waiting bays, and single yellow lines would apply.
Double yellow lines and blue badge bays would continue to apply all day, every day.
Types of permits
Permits would be issued to eligible:
- residents, and
- businesses.
Carers and Tradespersons would be able to apply for a temporary permit while working in the zone.
View more information on the types of permits we issue.
Permits would not be issued for:
- Businesses with off-street parking
- Staff or commuter parking
- Student halls of residence
- Temporary accommodation (such as short term lets or holiday lets)
- Properties on private roads
- Developments with off-street car parks (even if there is not enough parking for all the properties in the development)
- Heavy vehicles (over 3.5 tonnes)
Parking with a permit
Drivers with permits would be able to park in:
- permit holder only bays, and
- shared use limited waiting bays, for as long as needed.
Permit holders would be able to park in any eligible permit parking bay within the zone.

Parking without a permit
Drivers without permits would be able to park for free in the shared use limited waiting bays for up to 2 hours.
Blue badge holders would be able to park for as long as needed in limited waiting bays, or in permit holder only bays for up to 3 hours without a permit.
Commuters would be encouraged to find alternative travel options.
Cost of permits
Residents would be entitled to up to 2 permits per household, and a number of permits for visitors.
- The first resident permit would cost £25
- The second resident permit would cost £70
- Visitor permits would cost £35 per bundle of 850 hours
Businesses would be entitled to 1 permit per business premises, for an operational vehicle (for example a delivery vehicle) that is insured for business use.
The cost of the business permit would depend on how polluting the vehicle is.
How the zone would be signed and lined
We appreciate that this area is a conservation area, so we would make sure wherever possible that any signs and lines for any new restrictions would be in keeping with the visual aesthetic of the area.
For example:
- Where possible, we would attach signs to existing street furniture
- Any poles that are used for signs would be painted black
- Signs would be at the smallest possible size permitted by regulations
- Yellow backing boards would not be used for signs
- Signs would be placed wherever the least intrusive to the area
