Mr. Chris McGarry:

The legislation is, on the one hand, very simple and very effective, which is that we must state in written form why we have disagreed with the inspector. I do a lot of work with my colleagues at the commissioner level explaining to them the level of detail that needs to go into that. For example, an inspector might recommend a refusal for two reasons and we decide that a grant is more appropriate in terms of proper planning. We must engage with those two reasons and we do so in our language. We talk through it and we engage with any evidence that is on the file.
