Mr. Dave Walsh:
It is in the board direction that sets out the justification or the rationale for not accepting the inspector's recommendation. Sometimes, it could be on the entirety of the issue and sometimes it could be on a particular condition or element of it. Obviously, the inspector's report will have a detailed recommendation with conditions or a rationale for that. The board generally addresses those in its justification on the direction.
