Another massive tower block in the centre of Cardiff has been given the go ahead.
Landore Court on Charles Street will be demolished and a huge 16-storey apartment block will be built in its place.
The 50m tall development is inside one of the capital's conservation areas and despite numerous objections planning permission was granted on Wednesday.
The mixed-development site will include two ground floor commercial units in a "U-shaped block" rising from five storeys on the Charles Street side to 16 storeys at the rear on Wesley Lane.
The block of 150 apartments will include 47 studios, 65 one-bed and 38 two-bed apartments.
Planning permission was granted subject to a number of conditions, and that more than £266,000 is contributed by the developers.
The money would go towards upgrading Charles Street and Church Place, including up to £10,000 for a stand of nearby nextbikes.
The block won't include any vehicle parking, but secure undercover bicycle parking will be built.
The development is inside the Charles Street Conservation Area, one of 25 in the city. You can read more about the fascinating history behind Cardiff's protected areas you never knew about here.
Cardiff council said Charles Street is one of the "city's earliest streets" and is characterised by mid-19th Century Victorian townhouses.
The nearby area has already seen huge developments, with the new tower being built next door to the Bridge Street Exchange student block, which at 27 storeys is currently the city's tallest building.
BP's Ropemaker pension fund, which bought the building for £5m, is behind the plans.
A statement prepared on behalf of the developer, previously sent to Cardiff Council, said: "Cardiff is an expanding city. The population in and around the city is growing as people from south Wales, the UK, and the rest of the world migrate towards the capital in search of new opportunities as Cardiff witnesses expansion of commerce, industry, and education."
It added: "The location of such developments close to the heart of the city and to its offering of shops, amenities, transport nodes, leisure facilities and the employment opportunities can accommodate the needs of its residents conveniently and immediately without the need for a car. The site can bring new residents and new life to this part of the city of Cardiff."
Some 14 letters of objection were received, including from Cathays councillor Sarah Merry, Assembly Member Jenny Rathbone and the Cardiff Quaker Meeting House which is also on Charles Street.
The meeting house said: "Overarching objection is the adverse impact the scale of the building will have on the meeting house building and the uses to which it can be put."
