On the local place plan issue, how will it all fit together? There are local development plans. It is great that Jim Miller talked about pausing them. What is the sequencing? How do we get communities on board and alert to the opportunity to make a local place plan? How does that feed into the local development plan? Is there timing for that?

Okay. On the ones that are being developed already, will people need to go back and reconsider some of what they have been doing in light of NPF4?

I am aware that a town near where I live has been very busy on what would not have been called a local place plan, as they did not exist for some years. Very good work is being done, but people will probably have to go back and see how it works with NPF4.

We will now go to Annie Wells, who has a question or two.

We move on to our second panel. We are joined online by Ailsa Raeburn, chair of Community Land Scotland; Clare Symonds, founder and chair of Planning Democracy; and Bruce Wilson, head of policy and advocacy at the Scottish Wildlife Trust, who is appearing on behalf of Scottish Environment LINK. We are joined in the room by Liz Hamilton, director of planning at Homes for Scotland, and Morag Watson, director of policy at Scottish Renewables.

I welcome you all to this long-awaited session. I would like to begin with a broad overview. Will you give us your views on the key changes that have been made in the revised draft NPF4? I ask Morag Watson to go first.

We will run through the questions that colleagues have and, I hope, you will be able to bring up those policy specifics at the time. If not or if we run out of time, we would welcome them in writing. I think that this panel has a lot to say.

I have been wondering about the model of individual or semi-detached housing, such as developments on the edge of Edinburgh or the edge of the town where I live. Is consideration being given in the housing sector to the point that we perhaps need to have different models, even in rural or more rural areas, that involve terraced housing so that we are not using up so much land? Since I have been a member of Parliament, there has been a challenge around what we put on the land that we have. There is now a call for food such as vegetables to be grown more locally and not imported so much. Everything has to give a bit. Are Homes for Scotland’s members looking at different styles of housing that they might make available?

Bruce Watson wants to come back in but, in the interests of time, I would like to move on—I might be saying that a lot this morning. See if you can tuck whatever you wanted to bring in into another response, Bruce.

We will move to questions from Mark Griffin, who is joining us online. I ask Mark to put all his questions at the same time.

I was going to ask a question about wild land, which Morag Watson brought up. The John Muir Trust got in touch with the committee with concerns that policy 4 does not offer protection. Morag Watson spoke about that, and I would like to hear from Scottish Wildlife Trust.

Thank you. I think I have a new word: salutogenic. I think I can imagine what that means. I turn to Cliff Hague.
