Primary Differences

   a. Cardno have not made allowance for unrelated commercial office development within the
      business centre between 2014 and 2026; and

   b. Cardno have assumed that the expansion represents a comparison between a small and a
      large centre with different primary components, whereas Beard has assessed the expansion
      to some extent, based on composition and design, as a duplication of the existing centre.
