Quite how they've achieved this on land that was supposed to be used for building affordable homes for key workers is still a little bit of a mystery, but their leaflet is very pleased with itself.
Oddly, now they've got the go-ahead, the artist's impression has got a little bolder. Here's how they used to publicise it:
And here it is now:
Gone are those lovely friendly trees that helped to hide how big it really was. Gone is the suggestion that the roof is a shimmering waft of gossamer glass. Instead, it's a massive "fuck you" of a building. This isn't any ordinary Scary Bio Lab. This is a Shiny One.
Also, you can now clearly see the chimneys. Which when quizzed at a meeting turned out to be mostly for the incineration of corpses. Coo.
In return, we get three community support police officers for three years. Who I'm sure will do a great job in dealing with the understandably alarmed protesters.
It's not all doom and gloom. As part of the coup de grace to the community, they're closing down the allotments that have stood on the site and have launched an exhibition to show the rich architectural heritage of the area that they're now gloatingly destroying.
I look forward to the next edition, which will probably have the headline "Say goodbye sunlight, hello smallpox".

Melburnians were wondering where our blundering ex-Minister for Planning had nicked off to and now we know.
That is a revolting looking building but I'm surprised they told you what it was for. Around our way they'd have said it was for training footballers and every sports nut would have cheered and helped carry the bricks.
I was in euston yesterday, i was shocked by the lack of zombies, though there was one i wasn't sure about.
