I am not promoting this but I want to be clear on the point. Does that mean that somebody could put in a third-party opinion, for example, either at the local authority or the board stage, depending on the type of application, and therefore they have sufficient interest? However, in order to submit a judicial review or seek leave for a judicial review would they have to demonstrate that in addition to having sufficient interest they were also directly or indirectly materially affected? Is that the consequence of the second half of that paragraph? Do the witnesses see where I am going?
