Originally, the NTA had to look for planning. My apologies if I did not make that clear enough, but now it is a kind of foregone conclusion that there is no real way for residents to have an input on that, although it is said they have an input. That should have come under some consultation which occurred in the past, but residents did not even know about it. I believe there is a bit of a loss there and something is being missed where people are not being communicated with properly.
