It would be helpful for the committee if we could find out the number of estates around the country that have not been taken in charge and what decisive action needs to be taken to make sure there is full compliance with planning and that local authorities are following it up because this is taxpayers' money. It is costing the taxpayer more money to bring these estates up to standard because planning was not complied with by developers or builders when they were being developed.
