I have read through a good chunk of the submitted application documents and recommend any interested party to (within reason) do the same. You can find them all here:

In particular, the Design and Access and the Heritage and Townscape Statements - read 'em and weap!
There is not even the slightest perception of the need to make the case for a 72 storey tower in this location, no comparative density study with previous approved schemes, no case made for ramming the site like this even from a viability perspective (the viability assessment is of course largely redacted but the chapter headings let you see how they've set out their stall).
And just look at Section 9.6 of the D&E - "Affordable Provision". It says everything you need to know about this scheme and the contempt with which it's author's hold the UK Planning System.
If I were a Planner getting these volumes and volumes of obfuscating nonsense across my desk, I would want to throw it all back at them.
Disgraceful.
