*Note: have seen this building height incorrectly listed as 62m in recent planning applications and emporis, that is height of lower roof/arm of building (easy mistake from side elevation) but ignores last 3 floors, to upper roof (not a plant).

**Image should be updated when building is complete

***Recent applications have height as 57m not 62m assuming similar error with critical care building

****New children's hospital application reveals original height was only above sea level not base to roof so 63m is height above sea level

***** Height above sea level once again being quoted as height (56m) but base to top it is 52m
