Following consultation on the draft consolidated and updated viability report and in response to the Inspectors comments the Consolidated and updated viability evidence – September 2020 was published. (Examination Document EB1117 or ED117)
This document sets out the methodology used, and the key assumptions adopted. These are carried forward and updated from the Council’s existing available evidence.
