Training ground approved

Cardiff City receive huge boost as green light given to build state-of-the-art new training HQ
The Bluebirds' ambitious plans were agreed by Vale of Glamorgan Council


Cardiff City have been given the go-ahead to build a state-of-the-art new training ground.

The move is something manager Neil Warnock and the Bluebirds hierarchy have wanted as they seek to take the club back into the Premier League.


Cardiff have been given planning permission to build a new two-storey football centre at their training ground opposite Hensol Villas at their Vale of Glamorgan HQ.

The new football centre would have treatment rooms, a sports science lab, gym, swimming pool, a drug-testing facility, changing rooms, media office and press rooms.

It comes after Cardiff were given permission to lay 15 new pitches - with terraces for spectators - in July last year.

The Bluebirds first applied for permission to build the new 44-acre training ground, which is based south-west of Junction 34 of the M4, after winning promotion to the Premier League in 2013.


Vale of Glamorgan Council's planning committee unanimously approved the plans for the new training centre this week.

The council received 14 letters opposing the plans, with concerns raised including an increase in traffic in the area, loss of agricultural land, noise and air pollution.

This planning application proposes a total of 103 parking spaces for players and staff.

A planning report says: "The building is considered necessary to support the range of uses required for the wider site as a training ground. As in the previous application, the use of the wider site would be complementary to those currently taking place within the neighbouring Hensol Resort, including the training facilities currently used by Cardiff City, Cardiff Blues and the Welsh Rugby Union.

"Furthermore, given the nature of the proposed building, to provide a high-level sporting club with a private training facility, it was accepted in the previous application that the use of the site would have to be supported by a club building and associated parking."


Warnock committed his future to Cardiff at the end of the season and intends to bring the club straight back up to the top flight.

"We’re well down the way to starting our new training complex, which is exciting I think," he has said.


“That’s what Burnley did when they got relegated – they signed a few good players, started on their new training ground and came straight back up."

Fans whinge about facilities for academy and the like but we've got lots facilities at club like the big blue top, plus pitch next to it, plus 3 house of sports centres at ground al need now is for academy to be properly funded and we are set for bright future! But great news today

Let’s hope that we now go for a Cat 1 Academy and produce some local players capable of playing for the 1st Team, cost of 4m is peanuts if you develop one player every other year? Our former 18year Old academy player poached by Man City went Germany for 10m!

Exactly, it's sickening teams like Man City can steal youth players from clubs like that just because their academy isnt as good as theirs.

Do you honestly think a new training ground is going to get you back up to the Prem for another 7 months.

Not really no but what it will do is provide solid foundations for the future ensuring we remain bigger than you lot down the road, in fact when the build is completed completed you guys will probably be league 1 or 2 anyway so you'll be even more irrelevant.

Fans whinge about facilities for academy and the like but we've got lots facilities at club like the big blue top, plus pitch next to it, plus 3 house of sports centres at ground al need now is for academy to be properly funded and we are set for bright future! But great news today

Our current facilities arent up to category one standard so the money's needed there. Few years back the club also reduced academy staff levels in cost saving exercise so again better funded more coaching staff in.
