The only reason I ask is that it would be very important to a Deputy or a councillor from one of those local authority areas to know that the local area plan, in all likelihood, is simply going to fall and is not likely to be replaced by any of the new plans. Those sections of the Bill will have to be enacted and those plans will have to be produced. It is not likely that a replacement plan would be in place before a local area plan would fall.
