Cardiff music venue 10 Feet Tall to become restaurant and shops
Summary
Cardiff Central MP Jo Stevens was among those objecting to the loss of live music, saying the area was already "saturated" with restaurants. The Shah Pension Scheme as applicants said in Cardiff Council planning documents the change of use "should be welcomed" as it would "improve" the balance of land uses. A Facebook page called Save 10 Feet Tall was launched in support of the live music venue, and Undertone nightclub in the basement of the premises. In a letter of objection, Ms Stevens said such venues were "a cornerstone of the music community in Cardiff", citing the recent closures of Buffalo and Gwdihw. However, in a report recommending approval for the changes, planning officers said the premises "could include live music entertainment if desired by a future tenant".
