Okay. It is important we have this clear. This obviously refers back to section 92 on applications for permission for standard development. An applicant puts in a planning application to the local authority. If I understand the Minister right, he is saying that where the application is in material contravention of the development plan at the point of application this provides a procedure whereby, notwithstanding the fact the application is in material contravention of the development plan, by way of a resolution an amendment to the development plan can be made which in turn allows the planning application to be approved.
