Mr. Joe Kennedy:

We are all working towards the same thing and can summarise very quickly everything that we agree on. We have strongly proposed independent inspection as the norm rather than self-certification. We believe that town centres would benefit from this type of a Bill. We are happy to hear some of the clarifications, as Mr. Baldwin has mentioned, about the rigour of the documentation because it is very complex. Unfortunately, it may be getting unsustainably complex. Perhaps we could address some of the more practical concerns. We were a bit concerned about the lack of definition as to what existing buildings this might apply to. We were afraid that somebody with an industrial unit up in Sandyford could put six units in it. Some 500 sq m is quite big. It is the floor area of six two-bedroom houses. None of us would want it to be misinterpreted. If we could foresee the unintended consequences now, they might be avoided.
