Reasons for Decision

(C)      The development is permissible in the zone in accordance with the requirements of SSLEP 114, is in accordance with the requirements of GSTC DCP 2012 (although this technically does not apply to SSD) and responds appropriately to heritage items on the site and in the vicinity.

(E)      The development is anticipated to create 227 construction and 50 ongoing operational jobs.

(F)      The development has provided sufficient information to address the SEAR.
