Swansea Council, as part of its More Homes Strategy, is seeking a partner(s) to potentially develop 3 sites for residential use in the Penderry ward, as part of the Penderry Regeneration Framework.
The partnership will aim to achieve the following objectives while working in partnership with the Council to develop these sites:
- Increase the supply of affordable housing within Swansea.
- Deliver a range of tenures across the 3 sites that will respond to identified housing need.
- Deliver sustainable, highly energy efficient homes and achieve good space standards, and adhere to Welsh Government Guidance.
- Deliver wider benefits to communities and open spaces surrounding development sites.
- Create jobs and local investment and encourage the use of local labour and set up training initiatives.
- Ensure the principles of Future Wales are met. Future Wales specifically highlights that, during Covid-19 lockdowns, well-designed communities played an important role in supporting health and wellbeing and states that key placemaking principles of providing green infrastructure (access to parks and green space), cycle routes and local facilities/services, must continue to be planned for in terms of a post-Covid future.
- The Council will aim to retain 50% of the units as affordable housing.
The 3 sites identified for development in partnership are all within the Council’s own land supply, please refer to Appendix 1 for additional information.
