"Generally speaking, the worst buildings in Cardiff are all the horrible new-build flats that are everywhere across the city. Century Wharf in the bay is a particular eyesore, especially the inland side of it that’s become covered in moss and damp. When you see the beautiful old buildings that used be in the bay, then it’s really apparent how terrible most of Cardiff’s architecture is. You go to cities like Bath, which have an aesthetic and all new buildings have to stick to that. There’s nothing remotely similar in Cardiff, apart from no new high rise can be built in the centre to preserve the ‘skyline’."
Sounds a bit unusual. 300ft would be roughly the height of the current max in Cardiff I would have thought. I\'m not a fan of height for it\'s own sake. Some people seemed to think the Admiral building would have been better if it was taller and narrower. I think it\'s fine as it is. Forget this \'international feel\' guff. Build what is necessary. If someone had a plan for 400ft and it looked okay I wouldn\'t have a problem. 50/60 storey in Cardiff would seem unnecessary.
I remember hearing the same thing many years ago i think late 90's around the turn of the millennium. Maybe it was a policy never implemented or from further in the past.
