"Interesting, isn't this site where the council is pushing for an exhibition centre? I can't imagine they'll be too keen on approving yet more shit, unsustainable rabbit hutches that would scupper their plans for a more useful redevelopment. the plans looks predictably grim, boring single-use apartment ghetto that anyone not living there will never use, the kind of thing I hoped we'd seen the last of. I wonder if the "one or more" commercial units would ever get built, or, in the event they did, if they would ever attract occupants. Also - surface carparking."
