Mr. Paul Hogan:

We did the consultation last year, as the Deputy pointed out, and we got quite a lot of feedback, including from many planning authorities. There is no obligation to compile the information in any particular format but most of us who had previously worked in local authorities took the position of doing a chief executive type of report and we summarised all the issues raised, broke them down and responded on what we could do. Those points found their way back into the final draft we have put together. It is between my team and the printers at the moment and that is happening independently of the review. It is a set of ministerial guidelines and it is intended to help or assist the development plan process.
