It wouldn't surprise me if the Trago Mills Development never proceeded.
They have now removed the coal, which they claimed they needed to, in order to stabilise the land for development, so the site has made it's money, with or without the building of Trago Towers.

COPIED FROM THE TRAGO MILLS WEBSITE Trago Mills has served the community from its three bases in Devon and Cornwall for some forty four years, offering some three million customers per annum the greatest range of discount goods anywhere in the UK.
After years of planning, Trago has recently completed a ground stabilisation project at its 120 acre site on the outskirts of Merthyr Tydfil and close to the home of the Welsh Assembly.
The former brick works and mining deposition site has been totally transformed following a mammoth 18 month project costing £12 million.
Trago has planning consent to construct a 150,000 square foot Regional Superstore with associated warehousing and unloading facilities together with customer parking for 2,200 cars. Furthermore, there is permission for a family Leisure Park, Petrol Station and Restaurant.
Trago will appoint a main contractor imminently and construction work will commence in the Spring of 2008. It is envisaged that with an 18 month build cycle the Store will open in the Autumn of 2009

Sad, but True. |

Trago Mills is UKIP's main sponsor so I do know some information about whats been going on of late.
The project is a dead cert but they wanted more land for warehouse storage. With that in mind another planning issue had to be put forward to Merthyr Council for their acceptance.
They are waiting for the acceptence from the Council before things progress further.
Having spoken to the owner a couple of weeks back I can also confirm that they will be looking at sponsoring community programmes soon.
