What are the consequences to marts in relation to licensing under section 8 for the holding of cattle on the day before or after a mart sale? Concerning section 9, when a person applies for planning permission for forestry, would it be possible for everything to be dealt with, including the planning application, the sowing of trees, the road work and the harvesting, in one application? It is cumbersome for somebody who makes a planning application for afforestation to have to go through a lot of licences. This should be done in one pass involving planning permissions, the licence to construct the roads, the licence to fell trees and so forth. That should be streamlined into one pass.
