If required, we can investigate alternative retention systems (e.g. sheet piling) that may allow for
selective removal or modification of structural elements within the setback zone. However, It should be
noted that the currently proposed CFA (continuous flight auger) piled solution represents a premium
construction methodology, specifically selected to minimise ground vibration and reduce the risk of
damage to adjoining structures. While sheet piling may achieve a reduced structural footprint within the
setback, it inherently requires vibratory or impact-driven installation methods, which introduce a higher
risk of ground disturbance and potential impacts to adjacent properties.
