Mr. Denis Holland:

The planning permission which was issued in 2003 would have had quite a number of conditions, as would be common for any estate, big or small. Certainly, compliance with those would be expected and required. Obviously, when the application relating to taking the estate in charge came in, an assessment would have been carried out to see the extent to which those conditions had been complied with and what, if any, outstanding works were required to render the estate suitable and fit for purpose to allow a taking-in-charge process to be completed. However, there would not be an MOU signed by both parties, for example.
