Looks like it could resurface soon with a scaled down planning application? Change of use?
Reading between the lines it sounds as though it’s going to be student accommodation, maybe a bit shorter to make it more viable
I would imagine it was be scaled down to be viable but still tall enough to take the Wales' Tallest Tower award. Drop it down to 110m perhaps.
Well if that were to be the case I for one would be very pleased! I'd rather an actual 110m (a considerable height in this neck of the woods) than a fictitious 132.5m!! If the delay and maybe that reduction in height means they actually get on with it then even better!
