According to the document "NCC Federal Site Review for the New Civic Campus of the Ottawa Hospital" November 2016, the location was rated "poor" for the following reasons:
"...there are multiple heritage considerations, including intrusion into the present boundary of the CEF National Historic Site and proximity to the Rideau Canal UNESCO World Heritage Site and several Federal Heritage Buildings. The West Annex may also require heritage consideration. There is potential to redevelop this site in ways that would mitigate negative impacts or perhaps even enhance the setting." (Page 68/256.)
The Civic will need 28 acres of land for 3,597 parking spaces. (Page 17/256.)
At least 500 trees at the Sir John Carling site will have to be chopped down:
"3.) Hundreds of trees will need to be cut down. Yes, we counted, but stopped at 500!" (From: An open letter to the National Capital Commission from Jacquelin Holzman and Jim Durrell, former Ottawa Mayors, October 21, 2016, page 215 out of 256 pages, "NCC Federal Site Review for the New Civic Campus of the Ottawa Hospital.")
