Description
The site extends to approximately 0.147 gross hectares (0.363
acres) and has previously been occupied by City and County of
Swansea Council for car parking. Vacant possession is available.
The site is of a regular shape and is generally level. The site is
bounded by the Strand to the South, BT Telephone exchange to
the North West and NCP car parking to the North and West.
Location
Swansea is the second most populous city in Wales with
a population of 239,600 as at July 2012. Swansea is the
commercial, educational, sporting and the cultural focus for the
South West of Wales.
South of the site lies Wind Street which offers a wide variety of
bars and restaurants such as Walkabout, Revolutions Swansea,
Las Iguanas and ASK Italian. Swansea castle and the new
‘Castle Quarter’ mixed-development consisting of apartments
and retail units, are also within close proximity. Parc Tawe
Retail Park is located north of the site with a number of retail
and leisure facilities such as Tenpin Bowling, Odeon Cinema
and Plantasia Tropical Glasshouse.
Swansea is home to two major Higher Education Institutions;
Swansea University and the University of Wales Trinity Saint
David (UWTSD). This site represents an attractive opportunity
for student operators.
Swansea University has worked in collaboration with First
Cymru Bus Services to ensure students from all campuses
have immediate access to the city centre. Buses run every
8 minutes during peak times and until 2am on Wednesday,
Thursday, Friday & Saturday nights.
Services
We advise that applicants should make their own enquiries with
the relevant statutory service providers.
Planning Status
The site has been used for car parking. The site is not allocated
for any specific uses within the current UDP and does not
currently benefit from any planning permission. In the upcoming
Local Development Plan the site sits within the ‘Central Area
& Waterfront.’
We do not feel that a student accommodation scheme will be
viewed negatively. However, we would advise interested parties
to contact the Local Authority on 01792 636000.
Tenure & Vacant Possession
Available as freehold with vacant possession.
VAT
The site is elected in respect of VAT.
UWTSD is located in the centre of the city, with Swansea
University Main (Singleton) Campus located approximately
two miles west of the city centre. Swansea’s newly opened
Bay Campus, located 5 miles east of the city centre, has been
designed for 5,000 students and includes 900 rooms.
The UWTSD main campus is in close proximity to the amenities
of the city centre, while Swansea University is located in parkland
and botanical gardens overlooking the Swansea Bay Beach.

Method of Disposal
The property is being offered for sale by informal tender and
whilst offers on an unconditional basis are preferred, offers on
a conditional basis will be considered.
