I'm pretty sure the council own all the land in Porth teigr as well as a substantial piece at the Sports Village, and Callaghan square, so no need to develop this piece of land if it can be avoid IMO.
Quote from the council report on purchasing Britannia park
"The cost of acquiring the Britannia Park site will need to be recovered through the appropriate development of the Britannia Park site and the wider bay edge"
They were talking about building a cafe but with coffi and the waterguard within spitting distance that doesn't look likely. Huw Thomas confirmed the plan is still to sell the land for leisure use rather than housing.
I would prefer it was kept open but they are committed to developing it.
Porth Teigr belongs to the Welsh Government I think as it was reported last year they had appointed a company (Knight Frank
?) to market it.
