Plans to transform a Victorian railway building into an entertainment and business complex have been revealed.

The 1880s goods shed on Barry Waterfront could house offices, a restaurant and a technology hub.

An open space for events is proposed, along with converted shipping containers for use as bars and shops.

A bid is also being made to build a five-storey block of 42 flats, with a mix of affordable and market-rate homes.

The scheme is part the Innovation Quarter at Barry Waterfront, a joint regeneration venture between the Vale of Glamorgan Council and the Welsh Government, according to the Local Democracy Reporting Service.
