In respect of the High Court decision and a more recent High Court decision involving a separate company, would Mr. Breen's interpretation of those judgments be the same as mine, such that even after the peat has been harvested, for it then to be collected would amount to a subsequent act of harvesting and would also require planning permission? If not, is it Mr. Breen's view that ICL will be able to extract this peat from the bogs without securing planning permission?
