I want to separate that out. There are the current projects that have planning permissions, for which there will be activation measures to incentivise and enable developers. We do not want to still be in this situation in five years' time where new planning permissions, subject to the new tax, will end up in judicial review. This is what the new planning and development Bill is trying to avoid. We do not want to be in that situation where they end up as unviable either, because then nobody wins: the site does not get developed and everybody gets taxed. Nobody is winning there. To avoid that, what are the witnesses saying?
