I think that is what everyone wants to see. Everyone wants to see the maritime areas protected but at the same time be able to deliver offshore wind and protect our fishers. I think we all want to make sure we can all work together to come up with the best way forward that it is hoped will protect everyone and ensure delivery.
I have another question. It is in respect of what is meant by the following. There is a section that states, “The section further provides that an environmental impact assessment and/or an appropriate assessment must have been carried out before the issue of the licence and that [this is the part] the provisions of the licence shall be deemed to apply to the development as a whole.” I am asking about “the provisions of the licence shall be deemed to apply to the development as a whole”.
