Swansea Vale

Welcome to Swansea Vale

The Swansea Vale development area is a 190 hectare mixed use development area in the Lower Swansea Valley and has over the last 20 years been an important area for regeneration and investment. It is managed in a Joint Venture partnership between City and County of Swansea and the Welsh Government.

New planning guidance, changed market conditions, new issues, demands and constraints have had considerable implications for the area over recent years. There has therefore been a need to undertake a comprehensive review to respond to the changed circumstances affecting the site.

Consultants Atkins were appointed by the City and County of Swansea to prepare a revised Development Strategy for Swansea Vale which was completed in draft form at the end of 2010.

The public consultation exercise has now ended. Thank you for taking the time to respond to the consultation exercise and for all the responses that we have received. We are now evaluating and collating responses which will form part of a report back to Council members at the end of January 2013.
