The construction of these apartments was delayed due to the rejection of the initial plans because of an objection on the basis of flood risk by the Environment Agency. The plans where resubmitted with the elevation of the building and were passed. You can see that this does sit on a small embankment. Presumably the permission also included the condition that the existing trees along Oakland Avenue were preserved - I'm sure given half the chance a developer would have felled them to make construction easier.
