It would be great to get an answer to that now. If the wording is in the 2000 Act, have issues arisen around it? Have there been any problems that are leading to the removal of the wording? From issues in my constituency, I know that planning permission and the conditions around it for things such as wastewater treatment plants and licences for discharge have been important over the years, especially in terms of breaches of planning permission. I would be concerned that by taking out this wording, some of the levers to address some of those breaches might be gone. Has the Minister a response or a comment on that?
