2. 1. The IOP lighting analysis is inaccurate: 12 Balfe Street does not
have two windows at the front. The analysis of the light change effect
on the living room is wrong.
RIGHTWRONG
“The living room window
which is detailed to fail the
APSH test is dual aspect
with two front windows
that receive acceptable
levels of sunlight... the
losses in sunlight are
considered to be
acceptable in this case.”
p62, 10.122
3. 2. The top floor room which they mischaracterise as a bedroom
is in regular daily use as a changing and exercise room.
RIGHT
WRONG
“Three windows serving
habitable rooms would
fail the Annual
Probable Sunlight Hours
(APSH) test. Of these
windows two serve
bedrooms which
are considered less
important in the BRE
Guidelines.”
p62, 10.121
In active daily use
4. 3. The IOP lighting analysis is inaccurate: The windows they badge as
‘Hall’ actually light the living room (so their substantial decline in light
is relevant to the guidelines).
RIGHTWRONG
5. 4. The assertion that the Cally retail is ‘derelict’ is a wilful mischaracterisation.
The IOP slots are the only vacant ones on that stretch of the Cally, and are in
high demand. Here are some of the many businesses that opened new shops or
relocated to within 100 metres of the IOP site in the past few years.
6. 5. Similarly, the IOP retail slots are not ‘derelict’ – they have been
vacant, but now they are in high demand, after being held hostage by
speculators and developers for years
RIGHTWRONG
“derelict”
In high demand
Held hostage
by developer
The loss of A1 units will only be permitted
where...continuous marketing evidence
for this 2 year vacancy is provided which
demonstrates that there is no realistic
prospect of the unit being used in its
current use in the foreseeable future
P47, 10.5
7. 6. The picture of the Battlebridge Community Gardens included in
the briefing pack is a wilful mischaracterisation of the current
attractiveness of that space.
RIGHT
Implied to be desolate
Actively used by many
families in the area
WRONG
Proposed IOP roof line

The role of community hospitals in the performance of
local economies.
McDermott RE1, Parsons RJ, Cornia G.
Full abstract:
Many hospital administrators recognize an increasing
need to educate the public on the important role their
institutions play in the economic viability of the local
community. Reasons include negative coverage by the
press of increasing hospital costs, eroding philanthropy,
managed care programs mandating out-of-area preferred
providers, and declining city revenues, which have caused
some municipalities to attempt to place not-for-profit
health care facilities on the tax roles. This article reviews
a technique that can be used by hospitals to build
community support by demonstrating the favorable
economic impact hospitals have on the communities
they serve.
The applicant details that research
undertaken by McDermott et al.
(1994) estimates that employees
spend between 30-40% of their
salaries on purchases within the local
community. This would therefore
directly support those local shops,
cafes and restaurants within the local
area, both during construction and
throughout the lifetime of the
building, further enhancing the
performance of the local economy.

7. Their benefits case rests on a 20-year old statistic about the
benefit of rural community hospitals in the US
