The premises in question is a valuable resource for the Reserve Defence Forces located in the area. It is used throughout the year for training purposes and also acts as a control centre and staging point for military exercises undertaken in the locality. In addition, military equipment is stored on the premises. In view of the foregoing, I am still advised that this premises is only suitable for military use.
