Save CQ were quoted in a BBC News article about the planning approval. They said their three biggest issues with the proposals were the loss of Writer's Square, lack of family homes in the residential aspects, and that less than 20% of the residential units would be social housing.
They also accepted that the current proposals were a big improvement on the last plan.
So in fairness to CQ, 2 of their 3 main concerns are very valid. Still, I think there will be many more revisions to the plans as things progress. I wouldn't be surprised if the problems around social housing and family homes were addressed when (or if) the residential phases are built.
