First, 4-6 storeys is far too high. This part of town currently is low rise, and it should be allowed to remain so, with 3 storeys an absolute maximum. Second, the concept of a "marker building" raises visions of the Marque at the corner of Cherry Hinton Rd and Hills Rd, which is an unmitigated disaster where the interests of developers have been allowed to override the interests of the current inhabitants of the city.

A marker building is a means of sliding in a very tall block of flats.

No - I assume high-rise - marker building please as there is no history of any towers or other high rising features. What would it mark???

If a developer wants to leave their mark, how about inspired architecture that is sensitive to the surroundings rather than more of the same.

A marker building is how The Marque was justified. Not a success. If a landmark is required why not plant a group of forest trees ?
Six story flats too high
