HAAP: Schedule of modifications
Representation ID: 33160

Respondent: Mr Stuart Barham
The inspector's changes correctly and appropriately reflect the findings of the Retail & Leisure Study 2008 but the changes will impact on the project finances and there is no evidence that the revised overall proposals are financially viable. the original viability analysis as presented in the submission copy of the HAAP contained a major error (omitting land assembly costs) and the plans for more offices are contrary to their own experts advice ( see Evidence Base Letter from GL Hearn). The changes may well impact the financials and an update viability analysis is required.
