There is often a tension between maximising potential and sustainable planning and development. The point of this is to rephrase it. Much of it is the same wording as the Minister's own draft. It is to just change the emphasis so there is not a conflict and it is fully understood that there is no maximising potential that is not sustainable and written and hard-wired into any notion of development and developing potential is that it has to be sustainable. This is the point. It is to avoid the potential conflict and tension that is often there in the real world.
