I have four specific questions. I will go through them and we can deal with them one by one.

Section 84(6) provides that:

A condition attached to a permission in accordance with paragraph (a) of subsection (5) shall not require such an amount of financial resources to be committed for the purposes of compliance with the condition as would substantially deprive the person in whose favour the permission operates of the benefits likely to accrue from the grant of the permission.

I have three questions on this subsection. First, is this a new provision or is it exactly the equivalent provision from the existing Act? Second, obviously, this relates to development contributions. etc. Does it apply to all categories of permissions, for example, a developer doing a residential estate but also a single household or single individual with a single housing planning permission? Third, how is it calculated? Will we deal with each question separately or will I list all four now?
