It's the same with North Road, you often see buses just parked there which makes it quite dangerous to cross the road after I've been to Cooplands!It's a number of issues really, that being one of them (not just Arriva I might add, seen 50/50A pull onto stand more than 10 minutes before departure time causing issues with stand allocations), others being: late running buses and stand clashes, currently stand K has points where the 7, X12 & X21 are all timed to be on that stand at the same time and you can imagine the chaos that creates especially when two of the three can't really layover due to being through services.
One thing I would suggest with the design is to make it so it's not really possible to smoke, the entrance looks like a scally version of Stars in their Eyes at times, not a positive experience entering it and waiting there at night is not particularly nice either with the sort that hang around it.
