Yes. At the same time, I appreciate that if we were applying for a development in a location now, we would require it to be X,Y and Z. The reality is that these developments are in existence, which, rightly or wrongly, are occupied as permanent residences. I am not speaking about any particular development. I am sure this is reflected across all coastal communities. If the owners of those properties are happy to make those homes their permanent residences, does the Department not feel that should be captured?
