Plans unveiled for 150‑home riverside neighbourhood in St Thomas

Swansea Council’s Cabinet will be asked on 18 September to approve a Stage 1 Project Plan for the seven‑acre St Thomas Waterfront site, unlocking the next phase of design work and public consultation.

The scheme, part of the council’s 20‑year Shaping Swansea regeneration partnership with developer Urban Splash, would see the former industrial land north of the river bridges redeveloped into a mix of apartments and townhouses, with half of all homes classed as affordable — a higher proportion than the 20% normally required in this part of the city.

At the southern end of the site, a six‑storey landmark building is proposed, with commercial space on the ground floor for shops, cafés or leisure uses. A central green street would run through the development, opening onto shared garden spaces, while new and improved riverside walkways, safer road crossings and cycle‑friendly routes would connect St Thomas to the city centre and SA1. The plans also include a landscaped buffer along Pentreguinea Road to help screen traffic and reduce noise.

Council leader Cllr Rob Stewart said the project would breathe new life into a site that has stood empty for decades. “Large parts of the river corridor have been left behind for too long,” he said. “This project is about changing that – bringing new homes, affordable housing, green public spaces and other facilities to the riverside. The scheme will help address local housing demand while reconnecting people with the Tawe and creating a thriving neighbourhood that builds on Swansea’s rich history.”

Urban Splash, working in joint venture with Lovell, is leading the design alongside Stirling Prize‑winning architects Allford Hall Monaghan Morris, landscape architects Grant Associates and engineers Arup. Housing association Pobl Group is proposed as the partner to deliver the majority of the affordable homes.

David Warburton, of Urban Splash, said the vision was to create a sustainable neighbourhood that feels part of the existing community, with high‑quality homes, green spaces and new routes for walking, cycling and enjoying the river. “The next stage will involve detailed design work and conversations with local people so together we can shape a development Swansea can be proud of,” he said.

If Cabinet approves the Stage 1 plan, Urban Splash will have six months to produce a Stage 2 Project Plan with detailed designs, costings and a public engagement programme before a planning application is submitted. The St Thomas site is one of seven strategic locations earmarked for regeneration under the Shaping Swansea partnership, which also includes projects at the Civic Centre, Guildhall and other key city‑centre plots.

I know how to treat my wife on holiday... Space Telescopes!

The Lovell Space Telescope and 78m full positionable 3500 tonne radio telescope at Jodrell Bank.
Positoned aesthetically at 45 degrees declination and approx 60 degrees away from the viewer giving a good portion of the reflection surface and the supporting grid of iron girders.The first light visitor's centre at Jodrell Bank.
Two concrete walls, one in front of the other both shaped as a slice through an inverted saucer.

The front wall has a vertical center slit, and is alighed due South and operates as a sun dial inside the centre.

The entire structure is the same diameter as the Lovell Telescope's reflector (78m) inside (not pictured) portions of the original reflector as used to project videos and interactive displays upon.

I was a kid when I met the Apollo 8 astronauts in Atlantic City. Can't remember the occasion, but they were heroes. They had time to answer a 13-year old boy's questions, too.

#Raumfahrt #RIP Der US-Astronaut James #Lovell ist im Alter von 97 Jahren gestorben. Das teilte die US-Raumfahrtbehörde #NASA mit. Lovell und seine Crew waren an Bord der Mondlandemission Apollo 13 im April 1970.

Raumfahrt - US-Astronaut James...

Heute vor 55 Jahren kehrten #Lovell, #Swigert und #Haise mit dem, was von #Apollo13 noch übrig war, wohlbehalten zurück.

Sie sind bis heute die Menschen, die am weitesten von der Erde entfernt waren.

Happy Birthday to Jim Lovell, who just completed his 96th orbit around the sun!

A veteran of 4 space flights he once held the record for the person with the most time in space. Known as "Shakey" by his peers he was one of the more respected astronauts during the Gemini and Apollo eras.

Looking across fields at Blankney in Lincolnshire.

The ancient family of d’Eyncourt held their manor here at Blankney in Lincolnshire from the 11th century until the 15th when it passed to the Lovell family. The land returned to the crown and the barony went into its first abeyance when Francis Lovell was attainted following his disappearance after the Battle of Stoke Field in 1487.

It was the barony, in its second abeyance in the 18th century, that the Tennysons family at Tealby had their eye on.

I made an #introduction a couple of weeks ago, but there are more people around now, so here's an introduction to my #research.
I have mainly worked on #RadioAstronomy surveys of neutral hydrogen in the local universe. In my early career, I was part of the HIPASS survey with the #Parkes telescope and the HIJASS survey with the #Lovell telescope at #JodrellBank, and did my #PhD on the HIDEEP survey, also with Parkes. I later led the AGES and WAVES surveys with #Arecibo.
