Plans to complete Cardiff's new International Sports Village are set to take a major step forward after the much-anticipated development was hit by a number of delays. Plans for the huge sports and leisure project were submitted in December 2021, nine years after the council first entered a contract with developers Greenbank to redevelop the area.
The sports village will deliver a range of specialist facilities, including a Central Performance Hub to support athletes across different sports, as well as a new Velodrome, a closed loop circuit and other outdoor leisure and climbing facilities. It will be built alongside a new waterfront, residential and retail district, with the area expected to attract around two million visitors every year.
Cardiff Council's Cabinet is now expected to approve a report outlining the plans as the project gets "back on track" following delays caused by economic downturn and the coronavirus pandemic.
