      on SP287641) that did not form part of the previous Development Permit MCU15/0111.

     Make changes to the overall layout to form the new site master plan incorporating the previously
      approved uses under development permit MCU15/0111.

The applicant’s intension is to amalgamate these lots to form one large development should an
approval for the extension be granted.

The application must be viewed and assessed as the overall development strategy for the
development of the land. Regard must be given to the development approval that preceded this
application in the assessment, decision and conditioning.
