Clarity is incredibly important. Site notices come under the regulations. However, we discussed this at a previous session. I ask that we improve the site notice, including the information on it. I think somebody mentioned before the possibility of putting a QR code on it but I do not know how that would work. An improved site notice is helpful. It is to inform the public and at the moment it is quite difficult to navigate. I know we have it set out that where a site notice is up and the application has been refused, granted or whatever may happen, the site notice is meant to come down. There are cases where multiple site notices are left. I would hope this will be addressed. That is probably regulations.
