Mr. Dave Walsh:
To be honest, there are a number of opportunities. The SHD process was designed to bring in council views and those of members of the public. Certainly in the assessment of applications we give full account to the reports of the council and the chief executive as to every observation and comment received. Certainly from our perspective we do not see it as a deficit but there is a perception that people would like to have two bites of the cherry.
