The private home in Cardiff is set to be demolished. Neighbours fought the plans for a cycle path because of fears it would create a rat run but the plans were approved on Tuesday by the council.
Developers are proposing demolishing a perfectly good house which is less than 20 years old to make way for a cycle path.
The £300,000 four-bedroom private home could be destroyed to create a cycle route to a new affordable housing development.
The move has prompted outrage from neighbours who say plans to flatten the house will change the way of life in their leafy suburban cul-de-sac.
Residents also fear their objections to the ill-conceived and ill-thought through plans will not be registered as they claim council planners seem to have made up their minds .
The destruction order for the house, whose owners do not want to be identified, is included as part of plans for 45 new affordable housing homes next to their existing private houses on the outskirts of Cardiff.
