I think this could be an ideal compromise, and it'd be awful if intransigence about the precious and inviolable viewplanes effed it up.
I regarded that as being quite obvious because clearing away of the older buildings is required before any more demolition. Going higher on the south sectiom will also block the view of Nova Centre (no loss).
