My next question regards thelocus standi. I am with the IIP, and it is a principle of JR anyway, that something completely new should not be introduced at that stage. Residents' groups are at pains to make sure they put in every possible scenario in case it is not considered. There is a burden on people affected by a development who may not have the expertise, or the deep pockets that perhaps developers and investors have, to be able to come up with understanding. We will have a challenge on locus standi, if we were to be too precise about it. Does the IIP have a view on how we overcome that?
