I think the folks appealing this would actually be okay with that.
The only credible statement from this group, as far as I can tell, is that it
would be better for the buildings to contain more two- and three-bedroom units.
And to be fair, it
is considerably larger than most of the street's built environment (there are big towers nearby, but let's be honest: They're awful). Having said that, it's pretty sensitive to the street, especially with the alterations made specificial in response to community concerns.
But those reasons alone are obviously not why they're launching an appeal. If you look at Clare Waque's Facebook page, she goes into a laundry list of complaints ranging from construction noise affecting theatre performances (I imagine construction will be in the daytime, so probably a non-issue?) to her own development potential to the impact on her garden. There's also a lot of rhetoric about greedy capitalists and so on. It's pretty ridiculous.
