Yes. I cannot remember exactly the discussion, but the situation is different if, say, someone is to refurbish second and third storeys. If it is an infill site – a complete clearance of a site – then it is a new build and it has to meet that universal design standard or universal plus or whatever it might be. However, for example, the refurbishment might be a former commercial building that is now going to be residential over three floors, including the ground floor. The ground floor is obviously much more accessible, so you get that balance right. Would that be a general view our guests would have on that?
