             I.   The proposed extension is located internal to the building and will not impact on
                  the existing streetscape.
             II. The proposed hospital use more accurately reflects the nature of services provided
                 on-site, which include specialised cancer treatment, dedicated treatment areas,
                 and inpatient accommodation. These functions are more consistent with a hospital
                 use than a general medical centre.
             III. The proposed carparking provision and information has been peer reviewed. The
                  peer review supports the recommendation the carparking provisions based on the

                  applicant.
