Mr. David Delaney:
As I stated previously, all new contracts and those at renewal stage require a section 5 declaration that it is in planning compliance, as opposed to planning permission. Where a property or provider does not have one of those historically, that does not mean it is not in planning compliance. It could be a property that is unequivocally part of the statutory instrument that allows you to convert from the list of properties to an IP accommodation centre. That is a grey area in terms of clarifying the information.
