On a point of clarification, that is true. However, to go back to the example I gave with respect to Traveller accommodation, it does not just assess all development plans. It has also done a really important report on the failure of local authorities to comply with those aspects of the development plan that relate specifically and exclusively to Traveller-specific accommodation. Obviously, this amendment cannot be taken in isolation from all of the other amendments. The Minister has grouped them for a very logical reason. If our development plans were to include the kinds of requirements we have set out here, the OPR would be looking very specifically at the interaction of planning elements of the development plans.
