I am thinking more of the planning side. If you have the advice and experience from elsewhere, you can to some extent force a change of direction. Witnesses mentioned methods in different countries that would not necessarily be germane to our culture and the way we live. Change has been forced in the past through planning, such as making it more difficult for people live in rural isolation, as they might have wanted to. Is there a role for changes in planning law to bring that about?
