Primary Responses (without lifestyle concerns):
Excluding responses related to lifestyle concerns, the ‘yes’ and ‘neutral’ responses are 77% in favour or not concerned
about the hotel development. As Councillors should only have regard to town planning concerns, we believe this is an
appropriate statistic.
We acknowledge the importance of those lifestyle concerns and GH Properties will continue with its education initiatives.
