Ms Rachel Kenny:

Without going into specifics, there are numerous local area plans and strategic regeneration areas where the planning authority was in favour of the strategic housing developments, SHDs, and where the board went along with the planning authority's recommendation to grant on those. I can flag that too. Sometimes where we materially contravene a local area plan or a policy in the development plan, it does not automatically follow that it is against the planning authority or the chief executive's report. In numerous SHD decisions, the chief executive is supportive of the proposal, notwithstanding the constraints within the development plan, probably by reason of the fact that some of the development plans need to be reviewed.
