Guildford Crescent - 96m 30floors

Rapports have a track record when it comes to demolishing existing buildings and then leaving the sites vacant. The old Vulcan site is still empty after the best part of a decade. I'm not holding my breath.

Totally agree I thought after the non activity following vulcan demolition we could expect better from the bulldozing of guildford crescent. Still, no doubt something will get built there - eventually

It would be so nice to see something else other than a surface level car park on a site which saw the Vulcan removed.

Although hope they're a bit better than the plans in 2007!

The main problem with that "current" design is that I can still see Ty Pont Haearn between the 2 towers.

IIRC the original plan for that site was 2 more buildings similar to Ty Pont Haearn, i.e. multi-storey carparks on the first few floors with flats/apartments/student accommodation above. So maybe we were lucky that they weren't built as well!

I don't know if there is still hope for Guildford crescent but its still receiving planning permission updates from the Council. I don't know if that means there is still hope. But I'm sure if it was an outright lost cause there would be no correspondence.

Is there an update on this?

I would really hate for this to end up being a dud development, seeing as they have destroyed an area cultural and historical significance.

If not, the developers and council need to be held accountable. Disgraceful really.

Looks like this one is back on
