Viability Issues	The applicants's submitted viability appraisal states: "The Applicants are committed to delivering the scheme and have carefully designed the scheme to ensure that it is deliverable. The application is supported by a Viability Statement prepared by AY to demonstrate that the quantum of development proposed is the minimum necessary to bring forward the development, to justify demolition of non-designated heritage assets and the scale of new buildings; and to demonstrate that the scheme is deliverable. The appraisal within the Viability Statement generates a profit to ensure the scheme is deliverable in accordance with Policy H12, however, the Statement also demonstrates in financial terms that the proposed scheme is the minimum necessary to create a viable / deliverable scheme. The alternative scenarios tested unequivocally prove that the two new buildings are fundamental to ensuring a deliverable scheme, without these elements the scheme would be unviable and therefore not deliverable."
