Mr. Paul Hogan:

It is quite possible, yes. The way it works is once the strategy is published, the Minister has a period of time in which to form a view as to whether or not the strategy complies with national planning policy and guidelines, etc. I do not want to prejudge the ability of the Minister to make that decision but there are issues in respect of some elements of the soon-to-be adopted plan in the east and midlands. There are also issues ongoing in the north and west, and the south, that may not be resolved by the end of the process but we cannot anticipate how that will go.
