Chris Franks Plaid Cymru AM for South Wales Central brought the issue to the Senedd in Heritage questions. He said: "Llanishen reservoir is under attack from a multinational company. What can you do with your limited legal and financial powers to protect that valuable heritage site?" Plaid Heritage Minister Alun Ffred Jones AM replied: "On the Llanishen reservoir, the dam was listed in 2009 and any alterations that affect its character will require listed building consent. It is for the local planning authority to decide whether an application for listed building consent is required. I understand that the authority has indicated that it is not seeking an application for the drain-down of water. As there is an outstanding planning application, I do not think that it would be wise for me to make any further comments." Last week the Reservoir Action Group (RAG) also questioned an honorary degree given from Cardiff University to head of Atkins Keith Clarke whose company issued the engineer who called for a review of the pipework underneath the reservoir – causing the draining of the water.
