I just pity the poor folks who bought the modernish (1983/84) houses in Bateman Mews, Cambridge. When built they were constructed on three floors so they had good views over the Botanic Gardens. However, due to the generosity of the Sainsbury’s they now overlook this:-
and even when its finished it doesn’t get better. Just look at the height of the new building (use the human figures as a guide).

Yes, that would irk me if it were to replace my view of a garden too. I have to admit, though, that I can't think of a better place to build such a research facility, since they'll be studying plants!
Unfortunately you can`t stop so-called “progress”. I would not be happy in their situation, however many of us have to accept even poor views, not by choice by rather through economic neccesity.
