It is probably one of the most contentious sections that have come up.

I refer to section 139 (10) on page 305. If one were to revoke planning permission where a development has commenced, it is important that the test for commencement aligns with the test for commencement of extensions. In other words, what we do not want in cases where there is a revocation of a planning permission, is for someone to say: "I have started the development so you cannot revoke it." We need clarity on that revocation.

Section 203, on page 422, relates to the environmental assessment portal. I request that screening determinations by the board are also included in that if possible.
