The Deputy might help me in going back through some of those because there was a lot in there. The first question was on animal housing. The rationale is that the direction of travel is that we require more space for animals than what was there. These have not been updated in the past 24 years. It is a reasonable increase in terms of the space requirement that would be there. There are setback distances as part of the regulations, for example,100 m from a neighbour and 10 m from a road.
