Many of us would have been through local area development plan processes where councillors are trying to craft the objectives for an area and they may not write it in legalese. It can be open to interpretation. Where that is questioned, councillors should have the opportunity to clarify what might be perceived as an ambiguity. I do not know how that can be done but it is important.
