About us

The Llandaff Society was founded in 1977 to stimulate public interest and pride in Llandaff.

We aim to:
promote high standards of planning, architecture and design
— promote the provision of public and community facilities
— enhance the quality of life
— secure the conservation of features of architectural and historic interest
.

Monthly meetings with speakers on matters of local and topical interest are held throughout each year, as
well as practical projects, visits and an annual dinner. A Newsletter is published four times a year and
circulated free to members.

Our area of interest is bounded by the River Taff to the north; the old Taff Vale Railway as far as Waungron Road to the west; Pencisely Road, Penhill and Fields Park Road. In 2020, the Llandaff Conservation Area's boundaries were set as follows by Cardiff City Council:

The Society works closely with our local councillors and the Cardiff planning department to review planning applications within the Conservation Area. See the Planning Page for responses to planning applications submitted by the Society to Cardiff Council.
