The land currently being cleared of mountains of fly-tipped rubbish in Cardiff city centre could be home to a huge new block of flats which are on the verge of being formally approved. The land is finally being cleared after becoming a hotspot for waste being illegally dumped and there are big plans for what it could become next.
The land, East Bay Close (under the A4234 Central Link flyover just north of Bute East Dock), used to be a Volvo dealership and is now subject to a planning application that would see hundreds of flats built on the brownfield site, next to the flyover.
The planned development would include 353 flats - 175 one-bedroom and 178 two-bedroom units, as well as 530 cycle parking spaces and 49 car parking spaces. The ground floor of the 10-storey building would also feature an outdoor 'communal garden,' and playground.
