My response states negotiations with the relevant landowner are currently at an advanced stage. With regard to timing, it is stated that, assuming agreement on terms is reached, issues may arise at conveyancing stage and that these will have to be addressed satisfactorily. That is the normal protection included. It is stated there are some clarifications required on technical issues associated with the development of the site, and the assessment process is nearing completion. It does not sound like it is holding up the negotiation or the reaching of terms. There is obviously clarification required. I will revert to the Deputy on this. It is anticipated that the conveyancing process can be advanced by respective solicitors. There seems to be considerable optimism.
