A scheme to build what will be one of the tallest buildings in Wales has been given the go-ahead.
Cardiff Council's planning committee has approved plans from developer Draycott Group for construction of a 30-storey residential tower block on the site of Harlech Court in the city centre.
The old office block and former home to popular venue Porter's is currently being demolished to make way for the skyscraper, which will consist of 340 apartments.
Plans for the residential led development were first announced in 2021 with initial reports suggesting it could be made up of 35 floors.
Council planning committee members seemed split on their opinions of new building with one councillor saying it looked like "quite a good design" and another calling it "a bit underdeveloped".
There will be around 5,300 sq ft of communal internal amenity space which will include a residents' co-working area, meeting room, gymnasium, residents' lounge, and sky lounge.
The 2,500 sq ft of external amenity space will include communal gardens, a roof terrace to the 20th floor, and a roof terrace to the 21st floor.
Currently the tallest building in Wales is Meridian Tower in Swansea at 107 metes.
