It's a basement build, big or small it's still a basement. So what does it matter...
Months, possibly years of noise and other inconvenience to neighbours; potential impact to the water table; potential impact on surrounding properties; risk that the property itself could collapse during construction. There are many reasons to oppose basement developments.
I recall there was a mini-demonstration against them in Duke of York Square a few years ago, with the aim of getting RBKC to take a more rigorous approach when considering applications for basement developments. It had some limited success for a while, but now there seem to be more of them than ever on the go.
