It was about poor design, loss of amenity, traffic and noise with respect to the specific location where they applied for change of use.
If John Lewis had've been moving into the building, I don't think too many people would've complained about design even if they promised to put their big green signs up. This was at least in part down to the snobbery of HOP residents. As for the specific location, that's because I'm guessing you live round there. But every location is bad for someone.
Loss of amenity, traffic and noise are all 'we deserve better' factors.

In which case new new bar, pub or restaurant willbe able to afford them. Drinks all round!
