Public consultation is a big part of the new framework. One of the fears people have relates to the unknown in terms of what disruption may be caused to the seabed because it is different and we cannot see it. People do not have the information they might need. Is there a way of expediting some of the analysis on the areas that have been identified for potential development and getting ahead with the work so that when the public consultation happens, people are armed with the best possible information in making their contributions, rather than it being provided after their chance to contribute?
