Everything is in the NMPF. That is good on one level, but people might say that particular bits of the NMPF, such as the visual, tourism and heritage aspects, are in line with the DMAP they want for a particular area and they want to vindicate the objectives of the NMPF, but it might be, rather, precisely to prevent certain other types of usage taking place in particular areas. By the way, that might not be a bad thing, in certain cases. On coexistence, co-location and all of that, is it a requirement that every objective of the NMPF is in every DMAP for every localised area? Surely, it is not, because then there would be a requirement, for example, in every DMAP-designated area, to have a bit of this, that and the other thing, when it might not be suitable in certain areas to do certain things as against other things. I ask for a little clarification on that.
