HC Deb 29 November 1968 vol 774 cc211-2W
Mr. E. Rowlands

asked the Minister of Public Building and Works how many floors there will be, and what will be the height of the office block now under construction for the Inland Revenue in Tyglas Road, Cardiff; and what the distance of this block is from the nearest residential property.

Mr. Mellish

The office block will have 11 floors to a height of 115 feet with some plant rooms rising a further 20 feet. The building is 180 feet from the nearest residential property.

Mr. E. Rowlands

asked the Minister of Public Building and Works whether the plans for the office block now under construction at Tyglas Road, Cardiff, for the Inland Revenue were made available for inspection to residents of Cardiff; and whether the proposals for phase II and III of the development at Llanishen, Cardiff, are now available for inspection by residents in Cardiff.

Mr. Mellish

Generally this was left to the local planning authority who had been consulted under the Circular 100 procedure. Plans relating to Phases I and II were however shown to an individual resident who approached the Ministry direct. Plans can be made available for inspection if necessary.

Mr. E. Rowlands

asked the Minister of Public Building and Works what will be the height, and how many floors there will be, of office blocks proposed in the future development of the Inland Revenue office accommodation at Tyglas Road, Llanishen, Cardiff.

Mr. Mellish

Future development will comprise an 18 storey tower block of 190 feet (with plant rooms rising a further 22 feet) surrounded by a 2 storey podium of 42 feet, and possibly another block of about 5 storeys.
