There could be other contractual commitments. People could make contractual commitments with their investors that are not to do with the MAC. Someone could say to investors they have this maritime area consent and planning permission, that they will go in for a material alteration, that they need a particular level of investment for it and that the investors would get a particular level of return. There could be contractual commitment on this. The person could then get the material alteration based on this contract made with another investor, with nothing necessarily specified on the MAC. If someone has a contractual engagement with an investor could this not potentially tie the hands of the deciding authority?
