Swansea Council鈥檚 planning committee has approved an outline planning application for the Swansea Central development site, a 125,000m虏 scheme consisting of land north and south of Oystermouth Road.

Plans for land south of the road, on an existing car park, include a 3,500-capacity digital indoor arena and conference centre above a new multi-storey car park, as well as a hotel of up to 13 storeys.

New shops, restaurants, caf茅s, landscaped public areas, cinema and car parking spaces are among the plans for the former St David鈥檚 shopping centre site north of Oystermouth Road. A pedestrian bridge across Oystermouth Road is also planned to link both sides of the development.

Rivington Land is managing the development of the overall scheme for Swansea Council.

鈥淲orking in partnership with Rivington Land and their design team, detailed design work will now take place on the planned indoor arena, hotel, multi-storey car park and pedestrian bridge. We also soon hope to appoint an indoor arena operator as the southern development site鈥檚 anchor tenant, who can work with us on the design and specification of the attraction,鈥� he added.

Other imminent work will include a detailed travel plan and the appointment of a hotel operator.
