A nice view ruined

The sculpture at Station Square Lowestoft. What gets me is the lack of dynamism in the whole piece. It just looks like somebody has sat on it. It ruins the view as you look up the high street. They must have had other ones to choose from. Prehaps it looked good as a drawing. But then you don't choose architecture just on the basis on the quality of the drawing? What is the commisioning method behind this process? Alot of questions but who do you ask them to? On whoose behalf was this made? Who had the final say?
