I move amendment No. 9:

In page 11, lines 34 to 38, to delete all words from and including “where—” in line 34 down to and including “itself” in line 38 and substitute the following:“where no market exists for the site”.

This relates to contaminated sites. If a site is contaminated, surely it is the responsibility of the owner to resolve this and to bring the land back into use. If this does not happen, the land should be considered vacant and charged accordingly, which is what our amendments seek to do.
