New plans to develop Cardiff Arms Park could see hotel, bars, restaurants and apartments built in city centre

Plans are in the works to redevelop Cardiff Arms Park in a move that would see the stadium's capacity expanded as well as restaurants, bars and apartments potentially built on the city centre site.

BusinessLive reports that a new company has been formed by Cardiff Athletic Club, which owns the stadium, to oversee the redevelopment.

A design team has reportedly been appointed, with a feasibility study having been commissioned to assess the work needed to carry out the redevelopment.

The current capacity of Cardiff Rugby's home is 12,000 - with that capacity set to be expanded to 15,000.

CAC haven't commented on the type of redevelopment envisaged, but property developers told BusinessLive they see potential for apartments, office space, restaurants and bars forming part of the wider development on the site.

Chris Nott, a member of CAC who will form part of the new company, Cardiff Arms Park Redevelopment Company Ltd, told BusinessLive: “CAC will establish a development company and have formed a design team to review options for the redevelopment of the Arms Park.

"They will now undertake a feasibility study and report back in a few months’ time.”
