Two substantial residential development opportunities in south-west Wales have been brought to the market by Cooke & Arkwright's Development Land department. The first, a 15.7 acre site at Brynhir on the outskirts of Tenby, and owned by Pembrokeshire County Council, is allocated for 168 dwellings and offers outstanding views over Carmarthen Bay. The second is a former BT site in Swansea with a resolution to grant up to 73 units.

The proposed site in Tenby lies to the east of the Narberth to Tenby road and is currently used for agricultural purposes. It is located within the Pembrokeshire Coast National Park and the views extend as far as Caldey and Lundy islands.

In Swansea, a 5.3 acre former BT site at Heol y Gors has a resolution to grant outline planning for 73 residential units with no affordable provision. It includes administration buildings, stores and surfaced parking and is located adjacent to the residential area of Townhill.

Cooke & Arkwright have been providing rating valuation advice to The Welsh Rugby Union Limited (“WRU”) and Millennium Stadium plc for many years. They were recently successful in achieving substantial reductions in the assessments of the Millennium Stadium, covering both the 2005 and 2010 rating list. These negotiated reductions yielded savings of c.£3.5m which, crucially, allows the WRU to re-invest in rugby throughout Wales. They advise the WRU across the group portfolio including the National Centre of Excellence in the Vale of Glamorgan. The valuation issues across the WRU portfolio are complex requiring a high level of understanding of the funding and finances of professional sport in Wales. Cooke & Arkwright’s experience and understanding of these issues and application to the rating valuation have yielded these substantial negotiated reductions. The WRU and the Millennium Stadium entrust our work to organisations with the required levels in experience and expertise in dealing with these complex issues. I am glad to say we have this expertise in Wales. I would have no hesitation in recommending ratepayers making use of this Welsh based expertise.
