The regional plans will be factored into the board's consideration. On regional authorities and so on, the best approach is to ensure that where applications hit universally, as it were, the local authorities should get the information, as they feed into the regional bodies.

On advertising and notices, we had a lengthy discussion on site notices and I will differentiate the colours. We considered whether the colour should be red, green or both. These details are a matter for regulation and I take on board Senators' views.
