Mr. Tom Flynn:

You walk into a hole. That is the difficulty we see. It is well-intentioned and understandable but the difficulty with it is that one needs certainty of decision. Developers will want certainty of decision. If this provision is here, there is a concern for the developer if they have planning permission from the board, for example, for a wind farm development, then how do they know the board will not come along and seek to change it, even within a relatively short timeframe? It raises very fundamental issues. Our concern is that the potential for it to be counterproductive and generate more problems than it resolves is very apparent, so it really needs to be perfectly considered.
