This amendment propose to delete some wording. Subsection 40(7)(s) states:

In making or varying a development plan, a planning authority shall have regard to the development plans of adjoining planning authorities and shall, insofar as is practicable, coordinate the objectives in the development plan with the objectives in the plans of those authorities.

We are proposing to delete "insofar as is practicable". There should always be co-ordination, not just where it is practical that it be done.
