I went through the HP comments - I cannot believe they submitted such a detailed report (but somehow I'm not surprised). They pose an interesting question regarding the heritage building Bylaw; but I don't see it as a development question (its an issue between the development permit versus building permit - two separate things).

Like most NIMBY groups - they read policies which have 'should' and 'may' to be 'must' - that's not the case. Policies are open to interpretation and really; it's always the subject of council's decision (not the heritage trust's).
