I will go through the questions one by one rather than giving the witnesses a big list. Whatever we do not get to, we can return to later. The witnesses said they will provide some statistics later. It would be great to get the percentage of individual units commenced of the 52,000 units in total. Likewise, it would be great to get a breakdown of the judicial reviews of residential SHD applications because obviously there are a lot of judicial reviews out there on environmental grounds that relate to strategic infrastructural developments.

On head 4 of the Bill and the 30%, I presume I am right in saying that while 30% will be in the Act, that will be dependent on what is in the relevant city or county development plan and the zoning for the particular piece of land in question. This would not in any way trump that. That is a straightforward yes-no question.
