I am examining where the Department has intervened with local authorities to change their plans and what the result of that has been, and where we might need to intervene in the future. I have to have respect for local authorities and their powers. I do not want to overrule councillors but if there is a case where a set of extreme powers that is normally invoked needs to be invoked to make sure the right decisions are being made on key sites, then that will be done.
