BNK015 do you require alternate or is it only cloud below 1500 Thanks

The alternate minima for VFR flights is 1500ft and 8km. (AIP ENR 1.1 para 11.7.2.14)
An alternate must be provided if the conditions are below the alternate minima ( AIP ENR 1.1 para 11.7.2.1). So, for 4/8 of cloud with a base of exactly 1500ft you do not need an alternate and if the visibility is exactly 8km you do not need an alternate. There must be more than 4/8 cloud below 1500ft or visibility less than 8km to impose the alternate requirement.
