In 2024, Swansea Council undertook a prioritisation exercise and commissioned a Condition Survey and Risk Assessment for five Scheduled Monuments. The assessment identified four sites requiring urgent intervention to address Health & Safety risks and improve public understanding of those risks through interpretation panels.
Sites Identified for Works
1. GM 371 – Morris Castle
2. GM 475 – Clyne Wood Arsenic and Copper Works (excluding the Ivy Tower)
3. GM 481 – White Rock
4. GM 482 – Foxhole River Staithes
Scope of Works
Vegetation Clearance and Protective planting to progress capital works
Ecology Watch Briefs to ensure environmental compliance
Installation of Interpretation Panels to enhance public engagement and safety
Capital Works to stabilise and preserve monument structures, and address H&S at the sites
All proposed works fall within the boundaries of Scheduled Monuments and will require Scheduled Monument Consent (SMC) from Cadw. The preparation and submission of SMC and planning applications will be integrated into the contract scope.
