Can it be changed? As Mr. Walsh will be aware, within a local authority there is a four-stage plan. I have seen it take three years. I have seen a small one take three or four years. Given that there is a housing crisis, until 2019 there should be just one stage. Local authorities and the Department are both capable of making good decisions. Rather than move back and forth repeatedly, everybody should work together to get it done in one stage.
