Text
Yes, without getting into the detail of the case, it is important that we recognise that. It is an important part of the scheme. However, I have a responsibility to ensure that anything that is approved by me or through the Department meets the criteria required. I understand that this is a very important scheme that will lead to the significant development of housing in that area, so I want to ensure that whatever is approved is fit for purpose and will not lead to further issues down the line in years to come. That is not to say that I foresee that. I want the Member to understand that I want to consider carefully the proposal that is put in front of me, so that I can be confident in whatever decision I take.
