There is confusion, however. For all their faults, strategic housing developments were not the cause of the judicial reviews. They were the cause of much public anger and angst in some respects but it was the conflicts between the SPPRs and the development plans that drove that to legal conflict. With the new round of county development plans having been filtered through the Office of the Planning Regulator, the question now is whether those conflicts are gone. The worry some of us have is that there are high-level SPPRs in the national planning framework. One can have a very high-level objective but whether that will become a matter of legal dispute over the specific application of a new development plan is a concern.

May I ask a final question? I acknowledge that we are out of time.
