Hurrah!! No Bats in OUR Belfry!

OK - so great, the Batman cameth and found nothing. This is good news for us and good news for the bats. Though there are bats in the vicinity of the building there is no evidence of roosts at all. We will continue to be vigilant throughout the project, but it looks like the pigeons have the building all to themselves...... for now..............

We had an informal meeting with the Building Conservation and Planning Officer prior to the formal application being submitted. It was extremely positive overall, and Kevin and Tessa will continue to work with him as the process continues.

Cardiff Council's maintenance team have started work, and replaced some sections of guttering and also removed most of the buddlea and killed off the ivy on the main tower. A fantastic start.

We have now engaged Mechanical and Electrical consultants, Hoare Lee, they will design the energy systems and essential lighting, security etc.

We have also engaged Quantity Surveyors, Parry and Dawkin who are already hard at work with their calculators, rulers and all ten fingers each in order to give us a full costing of the project.

As ever, if you would like more information please get in touch.
