A council's cabinet paper has revealed an update to long-running attempts to revive the Penarth Headland Link project. The project, which could see Cardiff Bay Barrage linked with Penarth Esplanade, was brought back to life in 2015.
An earlier multi-million pound attempt to get the scheme off the ground previously failed in 2007. After much silence on the latest attempt to revive the Headland Link project, a Vale of Glamorgan cabinet report reveals that the prospective developers have been in contact with National Resources Wales (NRW) over the project.
The report on the minutes of the last Cardiff Bay Advisory Committee states: "NRW was made aware of plans to progress the previously rejected Penarth Headland Link project and would like to be kept informed of its renewed progress. NRW welcomed an update on where the project was at this time, particularly with regards to planning, and requested that NRW were engaged and consulted early in the process."
