Ms Oonagh Buckley:

I congratulate the Deputy on reading all of Mr. Justice Holland's very lengthy rulings. They can be quite long reads. The move in the structuring, and the Department officials may wish to speak to that, under the forthcoming legislation is to put the county development plan back at the heart of the decision-making process. Oftentimes, the legislation under which those rules were coming through was from an earlier era. The SHD legislation, in particular, allowed for material contravention of the county development plans. We are moving from that to another space.
