Enabling Development - Statement of Justification Requirements

In order to allow the Council to make an informed and timely decision in relation to an application involving Enabling Development, a Statement of Justification will be required, undertaken by an appropriately qualified professional, which includes sufficient financial information and a detailed understanding of the importance and significance of the heritage asset. The onus will be upon the developer to demonstrate that all other sources of sufficient finance are not available to allow for a viable use of the heritage asset, rather than an inability by the developer to fund a viable project.
