I will take the next slot. First on the reverse vending machines and the proposed class 42A. Part 1 of Schedule 2 states "No such structure shall be attached to the front wall of the building or erected forward of the front building line". I suspect that is so that you cannot put machines out where it would impede a footpath. However, if someone has a shop with sufficient forecourt and curtilage that is not in the public area, where there are parking spaces, for instance, would we be restricting someone from putting one on the front of their own premises where it does not act as an impediment?
