Stalled plans to convert a former school in a built-up area of Swansea have been revived. A company called Eton Property Group wants to create 51 flats in the main Manselton primary school building, between Cecil Street and Manor Road, Manselton, a further eight flats and a shop in a new outbuilding, four houses at the rear of the school building, two parking areas for 62 cars, a playground and storage for 60 bikes. The main access would be from Manor Road.
Public meetings about the application submitted to Swansea Council are due to take place at Manselton and Cwmbwrla Community Centre, Elgin Street, at 2pm and 7pm on May 24. Some residents have already raised concerns about parking, privacy and the scheme's potential traffic impact, among other things, which Eton Property Group has sought to address. "The benefits of the proposal are demonstrated not to be outweighed by any significant demonstrable impacts," said a consultation report on behalf of the developer.
