I have a quick question because my time is running short. It is for Mr. Daly or Ms Newell, who did not get in yet. A process is starting on derelict buildings. There is a fine for owners of derelict buildings as they are going through a planning process. Can something be done for people? Can that be taken off the planning fees afterwards? People are being fined for dereliction of buildings which are held up in the planning process. What can be done to show them that there is light at the end of the tunnel? They are trying to improve derelict buildings but they are caught in the planning sector.
