Huge former tax offices in Cardiff are set to be knocked down later this year after the council approved plans to demolish them. The former HMRC offices in Ty Glas Road in Llanishen have been empty for years since the government department relocated to the city centre, with the site facing an uncertain future during that time.
Last March, plans were revealed to knock down the offices and build hundreds of homes on the site, as well as business units, retirement flats and a care home. However, these proposals were scrapped a few months later, with developer Cannon Capital Developments Limited instead selling the brownfield site to Cardiff council.
The council had already put forward plans to build a new high school and special school at the site to meet the rising demand for places in the area. Get the latest news and planning updates from across Cardiff sent straight to your inbox for free by signing up to our newsletters.
