I agree that there is no reasonable argument against the proposal at this point - it's shorter than the nearby Maritime Centre, there are lots of mid-scale buildings surrounding it, the developers have shortened the height in response to criticism (i.e. this is already a compromise with those who will likely appeal it anyway), the current lot is unsightly and in an important, visible area, and the proposal includes money for the badly needed restoration of Keith Hall.
Well there is news out regarding the URB and imposing of cost associated to appeals.

in other words if an appeal is launched they best get it right or the party(ies) could be held for damages.

Of course according to the news release the main people pleading to the government are of course the Heritage Trust individuals.

Wonder how much the appeal of the twisted sisters could have costed the heritage trust if this was in place.
