Heritage is subjective imo.
Are we protecting the likes of the Colosseum? Now that's heritage worth looking after and not having it drowned out by modern skyscrapers.
What heritage are we protecting here? Some old buildings that can be found all over the place? What's the heritage behind them, besides them being old?
What purpose did they serve? Have they contributed, were they part of shaping our civilization?
There's properties in Adelaide that have had councils slap a heritage label on them, because they have been around for X amount of years.
Nobody of note lived in them, nothing of note happened in them. But age seems to be the defining factor.
What's the heritage in this location? Stephen's Lutheran Church -Chinese Ministry building? How is it then that an even bigger development will happen on North Terrace behind Trinity Church?
Yet they approved the 180m "SA1" tower 100m down the street.
Where's the "orderly transition up to an existing taller building" there? Is there a taller building nearby that we can't see? Perhaps SCAP can see things in different dimensions that we mere mortals who struggle to understand how they come to decisions cant see.
Banana republic state as far as planning and decision making goes.

on the setting of an adjacent Local Heritage Place contrary to recommendations
of the Planning and Design Code’s Heritage Adjacency Overlay.Code: Select all

expectations expressed in Capital City Zone (Building Height) PO 4.2 part (b) in

sustainability, and part (b)(i) regarding development that would provide an
orderly transition up to an existing taller building or prescribed maximum
height in an adjacent Zone or building height area.Where's the "orderly transition up to an existing taller building" there? Is there a taller building nearby that we can't see?
