Absolutely. The reasons are set out in section 30(1). That is correct. It is similar to the situation under current planning policy. One may not be in possession of all the facts when a draft direction is issued and one has to go through the process, but the Minister has to have the capacity and power to issue the direction and publish it at the end point, when all those determinations have been made.
