I am thinking out loud, so correct me if I am off completely. Would one way of getting around this be if we had a later application date for commonage land? For example, the point was made that some of this land would be greened up again by the time June comes, or July at the latest. The application date is 15 May. If that date was extended for two months, for example, for commonage areas, would that be a possible way of getting around the issue?
