Just to press this point - in terms of the drafting and approvals of the statements, nothing will change. However, sections 62 and 122 will ensure these statements are not only enacted through the planning decisions and development plans but, ultimately, in the courts. This is a significant change, is it not? I am not passing a judgment one way or another.
