On the Felindre site just off J46 of the M4, to accomodate approx 2000 people.
Good luck those that need to use the M4 in the mornings. The traffic situation around Swansea is ridiculous as it is. [Post edited 13 Feb 2018 23:48]

Liberty should have been built there, as well as Academy.
Still, handy for the Crem. Comforting to know..... |  |

Is there not some sort of huge power station down there. I would have thought not the best place to build houses. |  | | |

I worked at the BSC Tinplate offices there from 1983 to 1986, and used to go running lunchtimes up the lane towards the reservoir when I was young, fit and healthy. Changed in the sports pavilion next to the office block. Happy days. Any other PS posters work there? |  | | |

Who is building it then? The cost of new housing is so inflated due to the government help...catch 22. | |

Had a little chuckle to myself about this one. Interestingly, reading around the topic, it appears that the land is owned by the Welsh Government..... the same organisation that this week has proposed a tax on companies holding on to land without building on it. Some may see this as somewhere between hypocritical and ironic. The Welsh Assembly Government which has presided over the demise of Wales seems to be a law unto itself. A perfect example of being dominated by one party. There seems to be no accountability whatsoever and it follows an agenda which a handful of individuals push. However, there is a swell of discontent building and it will be interesting to see the outcome of two key inquiries into the conduct of the First Minister. The old saying "Power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely" springs to mind. | | | |

Didn't they build housing for up to 4000 people at the old BP Llandarcy site? What infrastructure was needed there? schools, doctors, shops, pubs, post office, library etc. | | | |

Not quite but I worked on the dam construction project on the Lower Lliw reservoir site and I used to go running on the odd lunchtime from there down towards the BSC site  |  |

They planned to build a new "urban village" there but I think only about 250 houses have been built, they haven't been very popular. All sorts of stuff was planned, schools, shops and even a train station.
The village at Velindre isn't really new, it's part of the Swansea LDP. Others a planned at Penplas, garden Village and Pontarddulais.
There's a Power Station planned next to the Velindre site too. | | | |

The M4 around Swansea is currently congested. Surely, a new housing estate at J46 will add to the problem? It's about time it was widen to three lanes. |  |

What about those who live alongside the motorway in Ynysforgan for example? |  |

Plus the overpass of the roundabout! How do they widen that! Would cause chaos for years and cost hundreds of millions. Sad as it is, the only solution at present is to declare the stretch of motorway between J47 and the start of the three lane stretch at Briton Ferry a dual carriage way and impose a 50m an hour speed limit. |  | | |

The Swansea LDP are also planning numerous houses in the Llansamlet area without improving the infrastructure. As well as strategic planning a Park and Ride for 350+ cars behind Llansamlet railway station and surgery. |  | | |

I can remember playing football against Afon Tinplate,Swansea Sunday League back in the Mid to late 1980's possibly early 90's. There used to be a pitch and wooden changing rooms and pavilion on the opposite side of the road to the works. Been down there recently walking the dogs and can't for the life of me see where it was. Nature seems to have done a fantastic job reclaiming the area. |  | | |
