I am not sure if this is part of the appeals going on right now with the London Plan. But yeah, I think an exception should be made. Bonusing in the London Plan does not include community centers. Considering York donated this land is huge and should be considered.
Without this exception, the LP only allows 2.5 storeys for the neighbourhood type with bonusing up to 4 storeys where neighbourhood connector intersect with Civic Boulevards or 6 storeys where a Civic Boulevard intersects with another Civ Boulevard. The proposed apartment at the Bostwick and Southdale intersection has it's podium at five storeys.
