His neighbour Jonathan Williams has lived in Great Holm for six years.
He said: “If you look at the large warehouses towards the A5, they have got green or blue faded tops so they sink into the skyline.
“At 17.9 metres it’s just impossible to screen and there is nothing around here, anywhere near as tall as this building.”
He said similar warehouses tended to be on industrial estates and “not 60 metres across the road from a large residential area”.
He also voiced concerns that construction was taking place outside normal working hours.
“They have most recently been working until 3am pouring and smoothing concrete which leaves this loud droning noise while the spinners are running and keeping residents awake,” he added.
The facility is as tall, but not as big, as the Blakelands warehouse on the other side of the city that was at the centre of a planning row at the beginning of the decade.
A review into how that warehouse was allowed to be built found that planning conditions were missed as a result of “human error”.
