(b) the conservation of the heritage item or the heritage conservation area depends on the granting of the consent, and

(c) the proposed use is in accordance with a conservation management plan which has been endorsed by the consent authority, and

(d) the granting of consent to the proposed use would ensure that all necessary conservation work identified in the conservation management plan is carried out, and
