Absolutely. Deputy Matthews's amendment is saying the modifications should not be substantial and I am saying if it is substantial, or "material", as we are calling it, then it should require new public notice and go out for public consultation again because it is deemed to be substantial. Tweaks are one thing, but a dramatic or substantial change is something quite different and it is only fair and right that people have the opportunity to make further submissions if the change is material.
