The only person being discriminated against is somebody who already has a permission in that area. That person may be unable to proceed for good infrastructural reasons. Perhaps the road promised by the local authority has not been delivered, the water or electricity supply cannot come through that area or for whatever reason, they could not work so it would be discriminatory to act against somebody who may have a valid reason. I think the amendment should be withdrawn. It does not make sense to me.
