As a planner (not for HRM) - I have a problem with people complaining about rules. Whether we like them or not, Council has approved rules for development and planners are expected to implement them. Rules like the viewplanes are not subject to variances and there is no wiggle room. You meet it or you don't. Personally, I'm not a huge fan of rules like that - but that's the way it is. So if he didn't meet the rule, then he needed to change his plans. That's the way the rules work.
It could be worse - you think those rules are difficult, try some of the rules out west. They are complex and unbelievable in what are considered.
