More than 100 affordable flats could be built on a plot of former Swansea dockland. Everstock Development Ltd and Swansea-based Coastal Housing Group want to develop the brownfield site off Kings Road, SA1. The building would include a cafe facing across a square towards the Ice House.
The land already has planning permission for a building up to 11 storeys comprising 91 flats, a commercial unit and two levels of basement parking, but apart from some piling work that scheme wasn't taken forward.

The plan now is for 104 affordable one, two and three-bedroom flats, two gardens, undercroft parking for 86 cars together with 17 electric vehicle charging points, and 60 indoor bike spaces. The building would be five storeys at its highest point, with the ground floor raised slightly to mitigate future tidal flood risk. Air-source heat pumps and solar panels might generate heat and light for the flats, meaning no gas boilers would be needed.
