Why would they flatten Howells? They didn't flatten David Morgan's. Parts of Howells are listed anyway so approval to demolish would be very hard to obtain.
I am not aware that "the Cardiff approach seems to be flatten whatever was there first" as you put it. That's a very dated view of the planning policy the city has followed in recent decades.
The last important or attractive building I can remember being flattened is the Empire Pool, the best part of a quarter century ago. Are you suggesting we should have fought to keep Oxford Arcade or Marland House?
