The ramparts maximum would most likely be allowed. The Twisted Sisters were approved before, and there is clearly support for Skye now. If United Gulf were to resubmit its previous proposal, or something like it, then this would mean a much quicker conclusion to this process and then something could actually happen for this site.
I feel there is a great deal of pessimism in the minds of Haligonians aware of this case toward the developer's likelihood of selling the lot.
