All the feedback we get from members, and even my experience of this, suggests it is highly unlikely that one of the top three priorities on the list of anyone developing a project would not involve meeting the local authority, given that would have to happen if a pipe had to be put in the road. The developer would need to have a very good sense of what level of interest or support the local authority had for the project, from the second or third day-----
