I have no problem with development near world heritage sites, as long as the actual site is not damaged. If a building becomes overwhelmed by a nearby skyscraper or bridge, oh well, progress happens and cities change. As long as the site itself is intact, anything outside that border shouldnt matter.

I think the Shard will be the first building visible from within the walls of the Tower of London and I don't think it's heritage/legacy is degraded as a result of it either.
