I'm not sure if this site is technically within the historic village, but I would be opposed to the development because the sides facing the village are stark and a poorly designed eyesore while the front side is innocuous at best. Anything going there needs to have a more sensitive architectural character.
There are other issues though like traffic through the narrow village streets, and although this one development wouldn't add that much they have to address this issue sometime perhaps by building a bypass.
I'm not sure if the open space argument holds up unless you consider this site to be of great importance in that regard. The whole area seems to be mostly open space; from Signal Hill to the White Hills there is an abundance of open space.
