There is scope in this regard. When the plan was originally written in 2000, we were not aware of the climate and biodiversity crisis. Now, 20 years on, we have a lot more knowledge. We can strengthen that. It is important that people are aware of those local sites of importance. That is not about curtailing development but, rather, focusing the mind when the area is being developed. It is not European designation but it is locally important.

It is somewhat unfair of me to ask my next question with only a minute and 50 seconds left. Section 249(5)(a) states that "any of the bodies concerned may make an amended decision, correcting any error of law or fact contained in that decision". I read the phrase "any error of law" as being without limits in terms of what one can do. Under the current section 146A, however, clerical errors can be corrected. It is kind of defined there. Can the witnesses suggest a definition for "any error of law"? It is limitless; is it not?
