The planners at Duggan & Hede state, “The development does not introduce a new use into the neighbourhood, instead it provides additional on-site services and facilities for the existing school. The development does not adversely impact on glare, odour, light, noise, traffic, parking, servicing or hours of operation given the site currently operates as an existing
educational facility, with the new building works located within the College campus. No increase in staff or students are associated with the development”.

The proposal adds 1,477sqm of gross floor area to the 13.37 ha site.
