Flats and a commercial unit could rise from a patch of land in the centre of Swansea. The plot in Orchard Street is fenced in and flanked on one side by an ivy-covered building.
A company called Karim Developments wants to develop a six-storey block comprising 16 flats with a ground floor commercial unit. The scheme would link back to a building directly behind on High Street, which runs parallel to Orchard Street. The plan is to convert the first and second storeys of the High Street-facing building, and add a further recessed level of flats on top.

Inbetween the two buildings would be enclosed roof gardens featuring shrubs, climbers, bird boxes and pergolas. No parking spaces are planned. Bike storage space would be provided.
