Nobody is disputing that. We are all agreed that we want this as fast as possible but my question is about the prioritisation and the sharing of information. If industry was to say that in order to get the certainty, then industry would support appropriate prioritisation and would be willing to share information and data, particularly with an expert group, which might otherwise not be shared for commercial sensitivity reasons prior to a planning application, I believe this would be a welcome step.
