Popular music rehearsal studios in Butetown could likely relocate to Splott due to demolition and major redevelopment plans. Many local bands and musicians in Cardiff rehearse at Pirate Studios, on the Curran Embankment in a quiet industrial estate off Dumballs Road.
But developers Vastint are planning to redevelop the “under-utilised, low-quality industrial land” with a huge mixed-use scheme including hundreds of new apartments, called the Embankment. Read more: Plans for replacement village school in Vale of Glamorgan will include chopping down huge trees
Now Pirate Studios have applied to Cardiff council for planning permission for branded signs outside a new unit in Splott, likely to be the next home of their rehearsal studios in the city. The new building is at the Tagomago Business Park on Dowlais Road, off Ocean Way, a couple of miles from the current studios in Butetown.
