Section 242(1) includes the phrase, "Where, subject to ... the opinion of the planning authority by reason of ... its special recreational value". It is there and yet we are told about these conflicts and that it is not necessarily possible to have an SAAO if there is recreation. Yet, the Bill refers to special recreational value. I am struggling with the information we are being given by the Minister of State because it does not seem to be consistent with what is written in black and white in the Bill. There is no explanation for why that is.
