Two large industrial buildings in Cardiff are set to be demolished as discussions to re-generate the surrounding area take place. The site, based on Canal Parade in Butetown, was acquired as part of the wider Callaghan Square project.
Permission has been granted to demolish the two buildings, Alfred Cook House and Centregreat House, as well as remove smaller buildings and substations at the site. The former building is made up predominantly of brickwork but includes areas of asbestos cement cladding.
According to the planning application, the buildings will be knocked down by a controlled demolition through asbestos removal and a phasing plan. Once the buildings are knocked down, the site is to remain vacant while discussions on how to redevelop it continue.
