When a Development Permit is approved (either through a court process like this or through the typical process) there is nothing that stops the applicant from coming back to apply for a new permit to go bigger. The only issue would be whether the bigger building would fit the angle controls, more parking would be required and it meeting the rules.

I suspect that after all this, there would be little to no desire to go through the process again for a bigger building not that Mr. Poley might not get approved (I don't think HRM would come along and force the issue into court again by refusing a new permit for a bigger building on the same grounds again), but it just might be 'it took me long enough to get this' kind of perspective.
