I am pleased to see renewable energy being part of this. We have not had one mention of climate in this room even though it is the number one consideration. Apportioning the onshore portions to places will not happen without the wind guidelines being in place. The same may be said of housing growth. When one looks at the comments of the OPR in its 2022 report, there is concern about the proportion of one-off housing as opposed to schemes or compact growth. Unless we have those guidelines in place, we will have a difficulty with this. Will they be published?
