There seem to be a distinct lack of rebar in the bit that's fallen off.
That can't be right surely?

That's what I thought too. It goes a long way to explaining why that bit
fell off. It will be interesting to see whether they can effectively
check the rest of it for structural integrity. My guess is that they
will have to demolish the whole lot. More than one multi-storey car park
in Norwich has gone the same way (due to deterioration of the concrete
rather than lack of rebar). Even one of the replacements had structural
issues a few years later.

What I find strange is that the Council have apparently told the BBC
that it is nothing to do with them because it is privately owned. I
would have thought that the council would be involved in both finding
out whether it had been built according to regulations and whether it
was a danger to the general public around. Unless no part of it is near
a public place, which seems unlikely.
