Plans for the regeneration of Cardiff Peninsula have been submitted to Cardiff Council.
Cardiff Peninsula Consortium was appointed as master developer of Cardiff Peninsula by the council in September 2023. Plans to revitalise the derelict land around the International Sports Village have now been submitted to the council for approval.
The masterplan for the peninsula would see the ice arena, International Pool, yacht club, and International White Water joined by:
- Cafes, shops, restaurants and a market square along a new high street and bayside promenade
- An innovation hub and business quarter, with co-working office space
- A new hotel
- Public gardens designed in partnership with the National Botanic Garden of Wales
- New homes
- Car parking for residents and visitors
- A water taxi connecting Cardiff Peninsula to Cardiff Bay
If Cardiff Council approves the outline masterplan, the regeneration project will be brought forward in six phases. Planning applications with details for each new building and quarter will be submitted in the coming years. In the meantime, temporary leisure uses are proposed, including a food market and padel tennis courts.
A spokesperson for Cardiff Peninsula Consortium said: “We want to create a thriving place to live, work, relax and visit – a real community that makes the most of the spectacular location, as well as a place for visitors to the sports facilities to enjoy.
“As well as new workspaces and homes overlooking the water, the new public spaces and gardens will host seasonal markets, community events, and play areas for children. We want this to be a great place to walk around and spend time, so it is an asset for everyone in Cardiff and Wales.”
