I think there are two issues: overshadowing/overlooking into private open space (aka backyard) and also the test of "reasonableness" of such a development.
I certainly don't plan to use astronomy as a reason.
Safety would be another factor. The developer estimated up to 500 car trips a day will be made in and out of the complex. This is in a street with families with young children, about 6 in that street and 12 in the next street (mine).
We had a practice day hearing last week, basically the developer is not interested in mediation and wants to go to the full hearing arguing for their 8 level development proposal.
