Purpose of Report
The purpose of the report is to provide a greater level of consistency and transparency in the NCA's decision making process. The Consultation Report outlines the submissions received and provides responses to any of the issues raised. Public consultation took place between 23 January and 15 February 2016.
Comments
The NCA received a total of four submissions on the proposal. Each submission raised issues in relation to proposal.
Key issues raised in the submissions were:
Loss of car parking spaces and the detrimental impact on surrounding businesses
Consideration of other options for replacement of car parking spaces
Consideration of other options for the location of the compound
Maintenance of adequate access and lighting during construction and post construction
Lack of adequate and proper consultation.
