A new city square at St David’s Cardiff

A new city square at St David’s Cardiff is one step closer as the planning application has been sent to Cardiff City Council!

Located on the site of the former Debenhams store, where demolition is underway, the plans will create an open, safe space for families and a vibrant, cultural place for residents and visitors to St David’s and the city.

Plans for the pedestrianised city square include new play places for families with a water fountain splash pad, supporting Cardiff’s credentials as the UK’s first UNICEF Child Friendly City.

The square will be landscaped with new trees and a diverse mix of native planting, boosting biodiversity and people’s access to quality nature in the city centre.

The square will feature new cycle parking spaces to meet the growing demand for sustainable travel. Two new restaurants with terraces and several smaller kiosk-style units will open out onto the square, creating new local jobs and opportunities for brands to attract more people to this part of St David’s.
