Hopefully this link works - this is the full document for the Cabinet meeting next week
http://cardiff.moderngov.co.uk/document ... 202018.pdf
Most of it is covered in wales online article, but here is some clarification on Red Dragon/County Hall or both:
"A. Cardiff Arms Park
B. Motorpoint Arena
C. Callaghan Square
D. Dumballs Road
E. County Hall
F. Red Dragon Centre
G. Atlantic Wharf (combined County Hall & Red Dragon Centre)
The County Hall site (E) is considered on the basis that it would require a
future decision by the Council to relocate out of the County Hall building
to free the whole site up for redevelopment. The Atlantic Wharf site (G)
which includes the County Hall site would not require redevelopment of
the County Hall building"
Atlantic Wharf is their preferred option, which would include Red Dragon and County Hall's car park - County hall staff to have a multi story car park built to replace. However, the report talks a lot about the importance of ancillary developments for leisure and retail to help the council recoup it's expenditure. It also talks about the arena kick starting the next phase of the Bay as a leisure destination. Also, they keep referring to a future decision by Cabinet on the council's property estate and the decision on whether County Hall moves will be taken then. I imagine a case will be made for the County offices to move as well and the additional space be used for more leisure facilities.
Also good to see how much Live Nation are driving this and the pension fund that owns Red Dragon seem onboard
