Mr. John McCarthy:
As part of a development plan process, local authorities, when it comes to examining the issue of dezoning, have to adopt a consistent approach, and if they are taking a particular view that a particular area needs to be dezoned, they cannot show different treatment to one of their own sites versus a private site.
