concerns raised <\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>CARDIFF Council have been told to draw up more detailed plans for how they intend to protect local people and wildlife when they demolish Llanishen\u2019s former tax offices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Work on demolishing the Ty Glas site was due to start in September this year but now the council&#8217;s own planning committee says more information about safeguards for local residents and wildlife is needed first.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Concerns surround a variety of issues from protecting nearby residents&#8217; cars and washing from dust to safeguarding animals such as bats, hedgehogs and peregrine falcons which have been seen at the derelict site.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Cardiff Council bought the site last year with plans to demolish the offices and build a new secondary school.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" loading=\"lazy\"

monitored throughout the demolition and proposed building windbreaks to stop dust being blown out of the site and covering residents\u2019 washing or cars.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It also proposed washing vehicles entering and leaving the site to keep the roads clean, among other measures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\"

minimising air pollution risks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Noise and vibration disturbance was also a concern as the Ty Glas site is surrounded by residential areas to the south, west and north, with businesses to the east.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To keep disturbance down, the initial plan proposed banning radios, shouting, swearing, idling engines, excessive revving and sitting outside the site.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But the committee took issue with the fact that several of the proposals would only be \u2018potentially adopted\u2019, meaning residents could have to listen to generators if the proposal wasn\u2019t adopted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The committee also raised traffic concerns as HGVs and demolition workers will be using Ty Glas Road and Ty Glas Avenue to access the site. These roads are already busy and receiving extra traffic since the <a href=\"https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/thecardiffian\/2022\/01\/28\/new-recycling-centre-set-to-open-in-llanishens-former-tax-office-site\/\">recycling centre opened on site earlier this year.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The plan said traffic concerns will be mitigated by carefully choosing exit and entrance routes to minimise disruption to locals roads.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure
