As Karl says, the plan is to build a new bus station before work starts on the BBC building, so that will clearly add to the delay.
I think the new bus station will go where planned sometime ago on the Marland House and car park site. At one stage the hold up was getting ownership of the car park, but that seems closer to resolution now. I still hope for a bus station with access from Wood Street and by Sleeperz.
Although I have no evidence, I speculate there will also be a new car park on Park Street.
I see, so the BBC announce their new offices but as of yet they don't actually have any land to build it on and planning permission won't be granted until we have a new bus station. Meanwhile the council is on the bones of its arse, has no money and can't afford to build a new bus station.
I will show my arse in queen street if the BBC head office is built before 2018 in central square.
Re: BBC move confirmed - but no news on the exact site.
No comments on this topic for a year.
The BBC's preferred site is the bus station site in Central Square. Cardiff leaders have promised to deliver this, despite no planning consent nor even a planning application. They have accepted it needs EIA, but being cosy with AECOM expect them to do a rushed job (fastest ever) to submit in October.
See the Central Square thread for up-to-date comments and links.
