Outline plans for 104 housing association flats in Swansea's SA1 have been approved, despite concerns about the number of parking spaces. The 39 one-bedroom, 53 two-bedroom and 12 three-bedroom flats come with 93 spaces for cars.
A previously approved scheme for the Tawe riverside plot, opposite the Ice House, had 91 flats and 91 spaces but didn't materialise although some piling work was done. You can get more Swansea news and other story updates by subscribing to our newsletters here.
Coastal Housing Group and Everstock Development Ltd are behind the new proposals, which an objector claimed fell short in terms of parking provision. Their email to the planning department said residents and businesses in SA1 already had significant parking issues. It added: "Allowing a development without its own adequate parking provision will further exacerbate an already highly emotive and contentious issue in the area."
