New
D'arcy Business Centre Remediation Works
The former Llandarcy Refinery site, which is over 1,300 acres in
area, is to be transformed into an Urban Village comprising new
homes and over 65,000m2 of employment and supporting facilities.
The development will be high quality inclusive and sustainable,
facilitating regeneration of the area and strengthening the local
economy. The mixed use development is designed for people to live,
work and enjoy leisure time within the area. It will provide
significant employment and new homes along with other commercial
and community facilities. It will improve the environment in the
area and provide employment and high quality sites for new business
and industry or relocation for existing businesses.
This element of the project is required to deal with the
extensive remediation, earthworks and infrastructure necessary to
provide access and services and these will be incorporated in a
phased manner over a period of around 30 years. The funding will
allow for the remediation of a total of 2.5 Ha of contaminated land
on the Llandarcy site as a pre-requisite for the development of the
new D’arcy Business Centre. The funding is required to finance part
of the non-statutory remediation, BP as current owner of the site,
will bear the cost of all statutory remediation works.
Once developed the D’arcy Business Centre will provide high
quality office space and industrial workshop accommodation for new
and existing local SMEs.
