In 2000-2003 architect Peter McGregor re-designed Llankelly laneway and Springfield Mall. His lightwork and pavements have become quiet local place markers and a senstive evocation of a European style landway for pedestrians. Council recognised these special places as Local Recreation Reservations (Zoning Control No 9(c) South Sydney Council Local Environmental Plan 1998.) This residential and contemplative character is threatened by the draft City Plan (2012).

This modest laneway is integral to a Heritage Conservation Area renowned for its Art Deco architecture. XAP is located in Cahors a State Heritage Listed residential flat building. (Architects Joseland and Gilling, 1939.) Other significant local residential flat buildings are Walmur by Emil Sodersten, Regents Court and Sandringham by Claud Hamilton, Gowrie Gate by Dudley Ward and Franconia by Leslie Nelisen (also designed the west side of Springfield Ave.) The the Minerva (now Metro) Theatre and 2KY Radio building by Bruce Delit is the reigning architectural glory.

Narrow Llankelly Lane (just 6 metres across) links these special places and buildings. The lane was renamed 'Llankelly Place' the late 1980s after City Council acquired privately owned sections of the laneway and Springfield Avenue (renamed Springfield Mall) and garages on Orwell Street to build Springfield Gardens. The Mayor opened the gardens in 1986 (plaque).

Llankelly Lane Invasions: Hoarding Arwork by Mini Graff (RHS) and Jason Wing (LHS and centre) in 2011 after the Cahors building put up a  "temporary hoarding" for roof maintenance. The hoarding remained situ for 8 months blocking visability, access and light to the gallery and denying artists proper exhibiting conditions. Thanks to Mini Graff and Jason Wing for making the municipal artwork.
