-----so I know he has a keen interest in the matter. He has done some good work in this area.

My amendments would improve the process and protect our structures further. In amendment No. 982 to section 276, I suggest that the record of protected structures be a separate document on a local authority website. If one wants to find a protected structure now, one needs to access the county development plan, find the section related to architectural heritage and trawl through it to find the structure. Due to it being in the CDP, there is not a great deal of information on the protected structure. It may stipulate a feature like the curtilage, the façade or so on. If we had a separate document, it would be more easily searchable and beneficial and could include greater detail. County development plans get thicker every time people do them and there is always an effort to streamline the information they contain.

Does the Minister of State wish to discuss my amendments one at a time or will I speak to them all?
