New images have been published showing what a huge housing and regeneration scheme for Cardiff Bay could look like.
It comes as Cardiff Peninsula Consortium announce that they have submitted an outline planning application for their masterplan which proposes the construction of 1,000 homes on derelict land around the International Sports Village.
On top of this, the masterplan proposes a luxury hotel, cafes, shops, restaurants, offices, public gardens and a market square along a new high street and bayside promenade.
New computer generated images of the proposed masterplan show what the square and public gardens could look like if the scheme is given the go ahead.

A Cardiff Peninsula Consortium spokesperson said: “We want to create a thriving place to live, work, relax and visit – a real community that makes the most of the spectacular location, as well as a place for visitors to the sports facilities to enjoy."
“As well as new workspaces and homes overlooking the water, the new public spaces and gardens will host seasonal markets, community events, and play areas for children."
“We want this to be a great place to walk around and spend time, so it is an asset for everyone in Cardiff and Wales.”
The masterplan proposes an innovation hub and business quarter, with co-working office space.
In terms of transport, the plan proposes car parking for residents and visitors as well as a water taxi connecting Cardiff Peninsula to Cardiff Bay.
If Cardiff Council approves the outline masterplan, the scheme will be brought forward in six phases.
Plans for the first phase of the development, which is a proposal for 77 senior living apartments, were submitted to Cardiff Council last month.
The development, planned to be built on the Cardiff International Swimming Pool car park, will comprise of 47 one-bedroom apartments and 30 two-bedroom apartments if approved.
There will also be 40 parking spaces, cycle parking and communal spaces like a garden with space to grow plants.
Planning applications for the other phases will be submitted in the coming years.
In the meantime, temporary leisure uses are proposed for the area, including a food market and padel tennis courts.
