How crazy are these Wigan/Astley Warehouses built next to houses?

I'm in Australia and on my social media feed I've seen these warehouses built in Wigan right next to a housing development and the perspective shown on camera is that they are absolutely enormous. Usually, you'd be forgiven for thinking it's a bunch of NIMBY's, but in the case it seems that the council have really screwed up.

Is there not a point at which the politicians step in and investigate this for incompetence or possibly corruption?
