- Whether or not prior approval should be granted for the method of demolition of the IBS building and proposed works to restore the site

The lack of sufficient information to demonstrate that the site and link bridge would be left in a reasonably safe or visually acceptable condition, combined with the need for further surveys to properly scope defects before demolition works could commence.
