Amendment No. 110 seeks to amend section 12(3) and proposes that licensing shall not apply to security cameras and other measures connected with the security of airport infrastructure within an airport. We discussed amendment No. 109, which clarifies that licences are not required for development which is exempted development. The current planning regulations already exempt the construction, erection or alteration of security fencing and gates, security cameras and other measures connected with the security of airport infrastructure within an airport. These exemptions will be replicated in the new planning regulations which are being prepared alongside the Bill. For this reason, I do not see amendment No. 110 as necessary.
