I refer to sections 56 and 57 in the context of varying a plan. We just spoke about the national planning statements and I think it is within six months that you have to make your development plan comply with the national. Section 56 refers to five-year reviews if we are going to ten-year plans.

Section 56(4), on page 143, states: "Not later than 5 years after the making of the development plan, the members of a planning authority shall, consider the interim implementation report from the chief executive and, by resolution, propose the making of such variation as recommended by the chief executive". What is meant by "as the members consider appropriate"?
