I thank the Chairman for the clarification. In all of these discussions, the devil is in the detail. For people who are not aware of Part V, it was introduced by the Department for social and affordable housing. Any developer building a development was required to provide 10% social housing and 10% affordable housing. Developers complied with the Part V obligations by weighting the social and affordable into one area. Was this a Part V development? Was a developer satisfying a Part V obligation in this development?
