I will continue the point and then let Mr. Lyne come back in. If a development is seeking consent which is close to an MPA, taking on board Dr. Griffin's point about connectivity in the network, buffer zones, and so on, it would be part of a consent process with conditions including acoustic monitoring, live reporting, buffer curtains, and so on. I assume all those bits and pieces would be part of a condition for consent in close proximity to an MPA. Will Mr. Lyne talk about that?
