That's true, it was a decision by the developer. But I would guess that they were really wanting to get something rather than nothing built, so they went the easy route and chose to shrink the size of this particular development rather than drag things out over the course of even more weeks/months.

It definitely seems like it was a small minority of voices that made them submit, since according to this article, there was a meeting last month attended by "18 delegations" repeatedly complaining that it was too big. I'm sure that if there were 18 people in that meeting speaking in favour of this development, the developer would likely have not bent over so fast and shrunk the size of this but I would be willing to bet there was no more than 1 or 2 people there who were in approval of it.

NIMBYs win again and now the region is out 100 new homes in the middle of a terrible housing crisis...
